Hi Change the /usr/bin/smbmnt to setuid, then it works. Use for example "mc" in text-console, browse onto that file, press cntrl-x-c, and set the first bit, and do save. Remember to set Yourself to root first with command "sux", and giving the root password. Smbmount uses that program for mounting samba-shares, but smbmount can not be setuid, but smbmnt does. Jaska.

I am new to Linux and am trying to get LinNeighborhood working on my Suse 8.1 system.
When I try to mount a share I get the following message...
"smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500)" "smbmnt failed: 1"
I have done quite a bit of searching and reading but all the information I've found is not for a beginner (they seem to make many assumptions) or for a different Linux distribution.
Could someone walk me through this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Matt
