	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para><command>smbmnt</command> is a helper application used 
	by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares. 
	<command>smbmnt</command> is meant to be installed setuid root 
	so that normal users can mount their smb shares. It checks 
	whether the user has write permissions on the mount point and 
	then mounts the directory.</para>

	<para>The <command>smbmnt</command> program is normally invoked 
	by <ulink url="smbmount.8.html"><command>smbmount(8)</command>
	</ulink>. It should not be invoked directly by users. </para>
