+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nsmb.conf
+.Nd configuration file for
+.Tn SMB
+requests
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+file contains information about the computers, users, and shares
+or mount points for the
+.Tn SMB
+network protocol.
+.Pp
+The configuration hierarchy is made up of several sections,
+each section containing a few or several lines of parameters
+and their assigned values.
+Each of these sections must begin with a section name enclosed within
+square brackets, similar to:
+.Pp
+.D1 Bq Ar section_name
+.Pp
+The end of each section is marked by either the start of a new section,
+or by the abrupt ending of the file, commonly referred to as the
+.Tn EOF .
+Each section may contain zero or more parameters such as:
+.Pp
+.D1 Bq Ar section_name
+.D1 Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value
+.Pp
+where
+.Ar key
+represents a parameter name, and
+.Ar value
+would be the parameter's assigned value.
+.Pp
+The
+.Tn SMB
+library uses the following information for section names:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Ic A)
+.Bq Li default
+.It Ic B)
+.Bq Ar SERVER
+.It Ic C)
+.Bq Ar SERVER : Ns Ar USER
+.It Ic D)
+.Op Ar SERVER : Ns Ar USER : Ns Ar SHARE
+.El
+.Pp
+Possible keywords may include:
+.Bl -column ".Va retry_count" ".Sy Section"
+.It Sy "Keyword	Section	Comment"
+.It Sy "	A B C D"
+.It Va addr        Ta "- + - -" Ta "IP or IPX address of SMB server"
+.It Va charsets    Ta "- + + +" Ta "local:remote charset pair"
+.It Va nbns        Ta "+ + - -" Ta "address of NetBIOS name server (WINS)"
+.It Va nbscope     Ta "+ + - -" Ta "NetBIOS scope"
+.It Va nbtimeout   Ta "+ + - -" Ta "timeout for NetBIOS name servers"
+.It Va password    Ta "- - + +" Ta "plain text password used to access the given share"
+.It Va retry_count Ta "+ + - -" Ta "number of retries before connection is marked as broken"
+.It Va timeout     Ta "+ + - -" Ta "SMB request timeout"
+.It Va workgroup   Ta "+ + + +" Ta "workgroup name"
+.El
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/nsmb.conf"
+.It Pa /etc/nsmb.conf
+The default remote mount-point configuration file.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+What follows is a sample configuration file which may,
+or may not match your environment:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# Configuration file for example.com
+[default]
+workgroup=SALES
+# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
+[FSERVER]
+charsets=koi8-r:cp866
+addr=fserv.example.com
+.Ed
+.Pp
+All lines which begin with the
+.Ql #
+character are comments and will not be parsed.
+The
+.Dq Li default
+section describes the default workgroup or domain, in this case
+.Dq Li SALES .
+The next section depicted here as
+.Dq Li FSERVER ,
+defines a server section and then assigns it a charset which is only
+required when Cyrillic characters are not used.
+The hostname value,
+.Dq Li fserv.example.com ,
+is also assigned in this section.
+.Sh COMPATIBILITY
+At the time of this writing, the
+.Tn IPX
+protocol remains unsupported.
+Future
+.Fx
+releases are expected to support this.
