Sorry, the program needs to be executable by all, but u+s is what sets the
program to SUID root. On my machine, a Fedora Core, the SUID for smbmnt is a+s
by default, but u+s will work also.
So, to recap (and update):
whereis smbmnt
ls -l {path}/smbmnt
chmod u+s {path}/smbmnt
If the ls -l does not show r_xr_xr_x to begin with, you will need to add:
chmod a+x {path}/smbmnt
to make it executable by everyone, but it probably already is.
Thanks,
Chris
