    Samba error when user mounts

    I am running ELX Linux, and when I try to mount a network drive under the "network neighbourhood" I get the following error.

    smbmount exited with errors
    smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500)
    smbmount failed: 1

    I would appreciate if someone could help me, so that normal users can mount network drives.
    Thanks in advance.
    Yuri.

    Hi Yuri,

    Try this as root,
    Code:
    chmod u+s /path to smbmnt
    
    or
    
    chmod a+s /path to smbmnt
    
    or
    
    chmod ug+s /path to smbmnt
    Smbmnt will proably be in /usr/bin/smbmnt
