SMB4k unable to mount shares

After installing Breezy I set things to allow logging in as root --both on the 
VT & on the KDE desktop-- because sudo never allowed me to do anything.  Now 
that I wish to try out smb4d to access an smbfs share, it will not mount but 
comes back with the error, "smbmount is not suid root" or some reasonable 
facsimile, thereof.  Consequently, I logged in as root to change the 
permissions and was not allowed to do so _as_root_!  Is there some user above 
root?? I don't think so!  What the...?

BTW: sudo comes back with the error... 
~$ sudo apt-get update
sudo: unable to lookup kubuntu via gethostbyname()
...and always has, which is why I changed the defaults when I installed.
