Mount.cifs Operation Not Permitted

To be able to mount samba shares as a normal user using programs like smb4k, the following commands need to be run as Root first.

chmod +s `which mount.cifs`

chmod +s `which umount.cifs`

That should solve any problems.

    Thanks for the tip – this was exactly the problem I came across after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04. Seems to be a bug regression which is reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/563805
