>Organization:
>Environment:
5.4 Release.  Using mount_smbfs to connect to a Windows file server.             
>Description:
mount_smbfs(8) documentation refers to nsmb(8) in several places.
nsmb(8) DOES NOT EXIST!

See the -M option of mount_smbfs(8).  nsmb(8) is also referred to in
the -O option.  Apparently, this document is supposed to refer to 
the theory of samba access rights and attributes of newly created
connections.

I sure would like to read this document.             
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the mount_smbfs(8) man page.  Then seek the nsmb(8) man page.
I could not find it.             
>Fix:
Provide the man page.
