Why isn't fusesmb not sufficient? This package is already in Debian, and is what the NEWS file in bzr points at. Because it does not allow mounting shares. It just allows browsing the network. It's a completely different function. For example, it is not possible to have it ask for a password when connecting to a share or it is not possible to connect to a share which is not advertised on the local ethernet segment. I guess I can manually set the binary suid root in my debian-live images until a fix is available. In the next upload, cifs-utils will not support running suid at all, per upstream. Then I should stay clear of that upload I guess as there is no way to mount cifs shares as user after that in Debian.

Actually, I agree that the current NEWS entry needs to explain the consequences of the change and present the recommended alternative (I think I voiced this concern on IRC) - just not *dpkg-statoverride* as that recommended alternative. I think the changes pending in the cifs-utils bzr tree address this. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
