If you depend on smbmount's suid bit to mount a share, you will not be able to unmount it using umount -- only using smbumount. Because umount is itself suid, it must implement its own security checks before turning over control to the per-fstype helper program, so only shares mounted as standard user mounts can be unmounted this way. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
