According to this thread http://marc.info/?l=linux-
fsdevel&m=113288468305873&w=2, there is security risk in enabling a non-
root user to mount a cifs share to a mount point that don't own.
The behavior is different from nfs because nfs mounting is directly
handled by the mount command, whereas cifs mounts are handled by an
external binary (mount.cifs).
OTHO the error message is not that good and may be improved.
** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Low
Status: Confirmed => Triaged
