======================
To permit users to ummount directories that they have user mounted (see above),
the utility umount.cifs may be used. It may be invoked directly, or if
-umount.cifs is placed in /sbin, umount -i can invoke the cifs umount helper

Also note that the customary way of allowing user mounts and unmounts is
(instead of using mount.cifs and unmount.cifs as suid) to add a line
on newly created files, directories, and devices (create,
mkdir, mknod) which will result in the server setting the
uid and gid to the default (usually the server uid of the

the client) set the uid and gid is the default. This
parameter has no effect if the CIFS Unix Extensions are not
negotiated.

The mount.cifs mount helper also accepts a few mount options before -o
