+.TH SMBMOUNT 8 "17 Sep 1998" "smbmount 2.0.0-alpha5"
+.SH NAME
+smbmount \- mount smb file system
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B smbmount
+[
+.B options
+]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B smbmount 
+is a stripped-down version of the 
+.BI smbclient (1)
+program used to mount smbfs shares. It implements only the mount command,
+which then calls the
+.BI smbmnt (8)
+program to do the actual mount.
+.B smbmount
+itself accepts most of the options that
+.B smbclient
+does. See the
+.BI smbclient (1)
+manpage for details.
+
+To mount an smb file system, I suggest using the option
+.B -c
+for smbmount to pass the mount command. For example, use
+
+smbmount "\\\\server\\tmp" -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'
+
+to mount the tmp share of server on /mnt, giving it a local uid 123
+and a local gid 456.
+
+The arguments supplied to the mount command are passed directly to the
+.B smbmnt
+utility for processing.
+Refer to the
+.BI smbmnt (8)
+manpage for details.
