I disagree with Dietmar's comment #5, which says that 9.10 didn't have the setuid bit.
Here is my Ubuntu 9.10: r...@cst6:~# ls -la /bin/mount /sbin/mount.cifs -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 78096 2009-10-22 21:28 /bin/mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 36296 2010-03-22 15:27 /sbin/mount.cifs Here is my Ubuntu 10.4: r...@cst5:/etc/samba# ls -la /bin/mount /sbin/mount.cifs -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 82256 2010-03-22 10:57 /bin/mount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35648 2010-04-09 10:38 /sbin/mount.cifs As an aside, I see that /sbin/mount.nfs are still set to be setuid (in Ubuntu 10.4): r...@cst5:/etc/samba# ls -la /sbin/mount.nfs -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 94544 2010-03-23 23:18 /sbin/mount.nfs -- mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
