libsmb based programs must *NOT* be setuid root We've heard about this error from RedHat 8.0 users and got some feedback how to avoid it (we don't run RH8, so it is untested from our side). One fix was posted from Pierre van Deijck. He set the following permissions to 'smbmnt' to avoid the problem: chmod 04711 smbmnt Another possible error could be that smbmount instead of or additional to smbmnt is set setuid root (posted by Bill Thompson). Please remove the setuid root bit from smbmount tool. Please test it out.
