well nobody wants to have mount and umount suid root.
If i do that, I'll have a bunch of developpers chasing me around the office 
trying to get my back.

The good thing with smbmount/umount suid root was that from a "windows" 
point of view, a basic user was able to mount a smb ressource, like in 
windows. What is your suggestion, guys? Should i suid /usr/sbin/smbmnt 
instead?
