How to Mount a CIFS Share

Note - If you own the directory on which you want to mount a CIFS share, you can perform the mount operation yourself. If you do not own the directory, you must perform the mount operation as the owner of the directory or as superuser.

Verify that the network/smb/client service is enabled.
```
$ svcs network/smb/client
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         19:24:36 svc:/network/smb/client:default
```
This service is enabled by default, so the usual state for the service is online.
If the service is disabled, enable it by typing the following command:
```
$ svcadm enable network/smb/client
```
Find the share that you want to mount from a server.
```
$ smbutil view //solarsystem
```
Type your password at the prompt.
Perform the mount on your directory.
To mount the /tmp share from the solarsystem server on the /mnt mount point, type:
```
$ mount -F smbfs //solarsystem/tmp /mnt
```
