-r Mounts as read-only.
-o This class of options is specified with the following
syntax:
-o keywrd[,keywrd...],keywrd=value[,keywrd=va
lue...]
Some keywords are specified as keyword/value pairs,
some are not. -o options must be delimited by
commas; no white space is allowed. For example:
-o ro,username=fulton,password=pokey
Following are the -o options to mount supported by
the CIFS Client (keywords that require values are
indicated by "keyword=value"):
ro Mount as read-only filesystem.
domain=domain Send this domain name to the server,
username=name Username sent to server. By default, the HP CIFS
Client accesses the server under the same user name
as the login name of the user. If you have a different
user name at the server, you may use this option to set
that name. It is ignored if you are already logged in at
the server.
password=passwd Password given in commandline. Use this option only
if you really have to, because all commandline
parameters may show up in the output of the ps
command. It makes it possible to pass a dynamically
generated password to the server. The password is
ignored if the user is already logged in at the server.
plaintxt Enable plain text passwords. The HP CIFS Client
refuses to send passwords in plain text to the server by
default because this is a security risk. There are tools
available that sniff the network for plain text
passwords. If you really must send the password in
plain text (e.g., because your server does not allow
password encryption), you can enable it with this
option. It is ignored if the user is already logged in at
the server.
