Examples

If local user steve has mounted a share from server bigserver, local user

bill has no access to the mounted ﬁles because he is not logged in at the

server. Bill, who has an account on bigserver under his real name miller,

can do the following to gain access:

cifslogin bigserver -U miller

Bill will be prompted for a password and if it is correct, he will be given

access to the share with the same privileges that user miller has on

bigserver.
