Chapter 2 35
Mounting and Logging in in One Step
The root user has the option to mount a CIFS filesystem and log in to the
CIFS Server in one step, eliminating the need to explicitly issue the
cifslogin command. Using the names from the examples above:
$ mount -F cifs -o username=x,password=y buildsys:/source /home/dev1/source
where x and y are the name and password pair recognized by the server.
The cifsmount command can perform the same function. Using the
names from the examples above:
$ cifsmount -U <username> [-P<password>] //buildsys/source \
/home/dev1/source
If you do not specify -P password on the command line, cifsmount
prompts you for a password.
CIFS Client Logging
The CIFS Client produces a log file of its activities. Various levels of
logging can be turned on or off, for example, the activities of different
modules within the software. See the “CIFS Client Log File and Log
Levels” on page 98 for detailed information.
