The &konqueror; smbmounter plugin is used to mount and unmount Samba shares over a network. The programs `smbmount` and `smbumount` both have to be installed suid root, so if you consider this a security issue, disable this plugin.

## The SMB Mounter Plugin

### Using the SMB Mounter Plugin

To use the smbmounter, just direct &konqueror; into a samba share.

For example, enter `smb://`host`/`my_files`` in the &konqueror; Location bar and select Tools smbmount current share. The share `my_files` will be mounted under `~/smb_network/host/my_files`.. Once the share has been mounted the smbumount current share menu item will become active, so you are able to unmount the file again.

smbmount is &Linux;-only, so it will not work on other systems.
