SMBUMOUNT(8)SMBUMOUNT(8)NAME
smbumount - smbfs umount for normal users
SYNOPSIS
smbumount {mount-point}
DESCRIPTION
With this program, normal users can unmount smb-filesystems, provided
that it is suid root. smbumount has been written to give normal Linux
users more control over their resources. It is safe to install this
program suid root, because only the user who has mounted a filesystem
is allowed to unmount it again. For root it is not necessary to use sm‐
bumount. The normal umount program works perfectly well, but it would
certainly be problematic to make umount setuid root.
OPTIONS
