smbiod - SMB client I/O daemon

/usr/lib/smbfs/smbiod

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:

/tmp/.smbiod-UID file for normal users
/var/run/smbiod-0 file for superuser

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

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

>0

An error occurred.

/usr/lib/smbfs/smbiod

SMB I/O daemon.

/tmp/.smbiod-UID

File on which to instantiate a door service for user UID.

/var/run/smbiod-0

File on which to instantiate a door service for superuser.
