Same for me. All these changes made to mount.cifs behavior over the distro 
upgrades are starting to be very annoying. I understand that this is for 
security reasons, but if a root user wants to allow a non-user to do something, 
it should not be rejected, only warned !!! If the system decisions overcome 
root user's ones, then what's the use of being root ??
Sory for being rude, I just need a simple way of mounting a share for a 
non-root user. I found the solution with mount.cifs, then we had to use "sudo 
chmod +s /sbin/mount.cifs" to allow a non-user (though we had to run the 
command after each samba update), and now it seems to be simply not possible 
anymore !! How can we retrieve the old behavior ? Is there a workaround ?
I am a bit upset actually but I ensure that I admire all the people working on 
the open source community. Thanks again for the hard work.
