NAME
       shfsmount - mount remote volumes using (secure) shell con-
       nection.

SYNOPSIS
       shfsmount     [options]	    [user@]hostname[:port][/root]
       mount_point [-o mount_options]

       shfsmount [-v]


DESCRIPTION
       The shfsmount is a mount-support utility which enables you
       to mount remote	volumes	 to  the  local	 filesystem  tree
       through	simple	shell connection (SHFS).  It uses ssh (or
       rsh) connection to remote servers. It requires shfs.o ker-
       nel  module to be loaded. If you set suid bit on shfsmount
       you enable ANY USER to mount remote  dirs.  User	 must  be
       owner  of  mount_point and must have write access for that
       directory.


OPTIONS
       -r     Use rsh instead of ssh.

       -O ssh_option
	      Specify ssh (rsh) option (e.g. -O "-c 3des" ==  ssh
	      -c 3des).

       -u user
	      Execute ssh (rsh) as this user (root only).

       -v     Print version number.

       user   Log in using this user name.

       hostname
	      Specify remote host.

       port   Use this port to log in (ssh).

       root   Remote  directory to became root of the new mounted
	      tree.

       uid=id Owner of all files/dirs on mounted filesystem (root
	      only).

       gid=id Group of all files/dirs on mounted filesystem (root
	      only).

       rmode=mode
	      Root dir mode.

       suid, dev
	      see mount(8) (root only).

       ro, rw, nosuid, nodev, exec, noexec
	      see mount(8).

Options	 in  mount_options  list  are  separated by comma without
spaces between items (see mount(8)).


ERRORS
       Mount errors will be written through syslog(3).	 On  suc-
       cess, 0 is returned.

CONFORMING TO
       Nothing,	 nasty	hack. FISH is not complete enough to sat-
       isfy our needs.

BUGS
       Date of remote file/dir is not shown correctly (+- 1 day).
       This  is	 because of POSIX "show time for files changed in
       last six months only" behaviour.

       Please report bugs [with diff -u patches, of  course  ;-)]
       to <qiq@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>
