They are the same, aren't they?

Thanks for any further help!

What I'm trying to do by the way is:
Get my cifs mounts umounted before my server gets shutdown and i shoutdown my 
server with a "shutdown" command in my ~/,kde/shutdown directory. I've tried 
shutting it down with a "S" init script in /etc/init.d/rc5.d 
or /etc/init.d/rc0.d but this didn't work fine so i decided to do it the KDE 
way. Now before executing the shutdown command for my server i want to umount 
the shares (and since I'm a user at this time, i need to be able to umount em 
as user).

Thanks for help or suggestions.
