Where does it say they are suid safe? What is different between a user mounting a NFS and a smbfs, why should normal users be able to do this?

Could the package please install these suid root, or perhaps at least query the user to see if they should be? If they are installed suid root, they should also probably go in /bin or /usr/bin rather than /sbin? I'd prefer /usr/bin, but either would be fine. Thanks. -- Robert Leslie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
