Bug ID: 207625
Summary: mount_smbfs(8): missing description of option "-n opt"
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Manpage of mount_smbfs(8) states:
SYNOPSIS
mount_smbfs [-E cs1:cs2] [-I host] [-L locale] [-M crights:srights] [-N]
[-O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup] [-R retrycount] [-T timeout]
[-U username] [-W workgroup] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode]
[-g gid] [-n opt] [-u uid]
//user@server[:port1[:port2]]/share node
The option "-n opt" is never mentioned again or described/documented!
Further, the SMB (server message block) is outdated, the TCP port 139 used with
NetBIOS is considered dangerous as it is an exploit to takeover windows
connections. It has been recommended to disable using TCP/139.
I do not find ANY(!) hints how to use CIFS and TCP port 445 only! One can only
guess that it is the addition to /user@server[:port1... with port1 substituted
with 445.
Iit should be made clear whether mount_smbfs is a suitable tool to mount CIFS
share from a CIFS only server.
In my experience, it is very hard to find any fitting FreeBSD documentation
regarding CIFS. It seems this is already standard in the Linux world and I find
it a pity that FreeBSD is behind, outdated or even worse incapable.
