samba mount

Mounting a samba share requires root permissions.

But all the samba browsing programs seem to implement them without ever having to have root permissions?

Any idea how this is done?

you can probably set up your box to mount samba shares as normal user by editing /etc/fstab/ as root.

Are we talking about mounting a samba share from a command line based on info from /etc/fstab?

I know this can be accomplished by 2 ways....
1)fstab method
2)command line mounting after giving user the power to mount

But when i install a software say smb4k,i do neither of this...but still ,the share gets mounted.How is this possible?
