Package: smb4k Version: 0.10.4-1 Severity: normal Hi, I am unable to mount shares as a non-root user anymore. This is because mount.cifs and mount.smbfs no longer are setuid as of smbfs=2:3.4.5~dfsg-2 . I opened a bug #572838 with "samba", but they closed it telling me that this is intentional:
smbfs (2:3.4.5~dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low * As of this version, the mount.cifs binary is no longer setuid. Upstream has always been increasingly unsupportive of this configuration over time. For instance, in bugs like https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6853, it is clearly mentioned that having it setuid root is discouraged. -- Christian Perrier <bubu...@debian.org> Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:09:00 +0100 Any work-arounds? Run smb4k as root? Maybe some kind of policykit thing-of- a-ma-bob? Thanks!
