Synopsis
cifslogin < servername > [< username >] [< options >]
Description
The cifslogin command is used to authenticate additional users at a
server. Only authenticated users may access mounted files. Each user
accesses the file at the server with his or her privilege status at that
server. Because there must be a one-to-one (many=to-one) mapping from
local users to remote user names, every user can log in only once at a
given server. By default, cifslogin sends the user's login name to the
server. If this is not desired, the username can be given in the
commandline.
Options
-c < clientname >
Sets the Netbios name of the client. HP CIFS is based

computer names are supplied during the connection
establishment for the client and the server. The client
name is usually taken from the hostname of your
computer. If this does not work or if your computer's
Netbios name is different, you may supply the value to
be used with this parameter. This parameter is ignored
if the server is already connected.
-I < IP number >
IP address of server. By default, the hostname of the
server is taken from the server specification of the
share. This must also be the Netbios host name of the
server, if the server enforces correct Netbios names.
The HP CIFS Client uses DNS instead of Netbios to
resolve server names to IP addresses. If the DNS name
of the server is different from the Netbios name, you
