NAME

smbiod - SMB client I/O daemon

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/smbfs/smbiod

DESCRIPTION

smbiod is a helper program that initiates an SMB reconnection, when
needed.


When a user runs an smbutil or mount_smbfs command, an smbiod process
is started and continues to run until that user no longer has any SMB
client connections. Only one smbiod process runs for each user that
has SMB client connections.


Each smbiod process instantiates a door service on one of the
following files:

o /tmp/.smbiod-UID file for normal users

o /var/run/smbiod-0 file for superuser


The smbiod daemon has no external, customer-accessible interfaces.

EXIT STATUS

The following exit values are returned:

0
Successful completion.


>0
An error occurred.

FILES

for superuser.
