Re: Samba fstab

["Adam T. Gautier" <adam_gautier yahoo com>]

I tried running "sudo chmod -s /usr/bin/smbmount /usr/bin/smbumount"

now mount reports:

libsmb based programs must *NOT* be setuid root.
4067: Connection to TK-MARKETING failed
SMB connection failed

So, again how would I set the /etc/fstab so that a user can mount the 
SMB share?
