    Hello,

    that's it, but it works without setting the SUID bit on /usr/sbin/smbmount

    Many thanks

    AFAIK, root doesn't have to have any permissions, she can do anything she
    likes (unless you're on a compartmented or otherwise restricted, i.e.
    non-standard system).

    Again AFAIK and from personal experience, you need to:
    * Set the SUID bit on /usr/sbin/smbmount and
    * have the mountpoint owned by the user in question.

    Cheers
