I've installed smb4k on SuSE 10 which doesn't seem to include it 4 some strange reason.
It finds the shared folders on two other Windows PC's but when I try to mount them I get this message:

An error occured while trying to mount the share
Details
smbmnt must be installed SUID root for direct user mounts
(1000,1000)

I assume its some kind of permission problem but I've never had it before it just mounts them nice and easy thats why I like the app.

How do I cure this problem

Newbie friendly answers please.

Thanks in advance

Steve

su to root and then run smb4k and mount the shares.

Cheers.

sudo mount -t smbfs //machine_name/share /home/user/mounting_point

cd /usr/bin
chmod u+s smbmnt
chmod u+s smbumount
