RE: [expert] Permisssions problems mounting SMB
I may get flamed by the security people here, but if this is a single user machine, you may want to set your smbmount (and other smb*) files in your /usr/bin directory to suid root. That works for me. My justification for this is that mounting smb is really no different than mounting any other file system (eg cdrom, floppy) which Mandrake not only lets users do, but does it for them. Give that a shot and see if it works...
