SYNOPSIS¶

ksmbd.mountd [-v] [-p PORT] [-n[WAY]] [-C CONF] [-P PWDDB]

DESCRIPTION¶

ksmbd.mountd starts ksmbd.mountd user mode and ksmbd kernel mode daemons. ksmbd.mountd has to parse ksmbd.conf(5) configuration file in order to start. ksmbd.mountd can parse ksmbdpwd.db(5) user database so as to support non-guest sessions.

-V, --version

EXIT STATUS¶

The exit status is 0 on success and 1 on failure. When detaching process from foreground, exit status is 0 if daemonization succeeded.
