Package: smbfs Version: 3.0.20b-2+b1 Severity: normal mount.cifs is not suid root as intended, because dh_fixperms will remove the setuid bit (see man dh_fixperms). See also bug #283819.
This problem is best solved, I think, with a debconf question and dpkg-statoverride. I think there is an explanation in the policy manual; also, other packages use this approach, for example ssh and man-db. Should you decide to add umount.cifs to smbfs (another bug I'll file in a second), remember to make it suid too. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (10, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.2-athlon Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages smbfs depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.38-2 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.3.6-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-12 OpenLDAP libraries ii netbase 4.23 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii samba-common 3.0.20b-2+b1 Samba common files used by both th smbfs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
