# smbumount

## 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 smbumount. The normal umount program works perfectly well.

WARNING: `smbumount` is deprecated and not maintained any longer. `umount.cifs` should be used instead of `smbumount`.

## OPTIONS

mount-point

  The directory to unmount.
