Problems mounting samba shares

[Alain Muls]

Hi,

After the recent update of some packages, I am no longer allowed to execute 
the smbmount command as a user. 

I had the same problem before, but I was able to resolve the problem by 
setting the 's' bit on the smbmount command. This allowed me to use the media 
button in KDE to mount the samba share. But with the update, it is no longer 
allowed to do setuid 's' on smbmount, so I cannot use the kde-applet media 
any longer.

The same problem occured with the ubuntu PC of my son, he can no longer use 
the gnome applet (I do not knwo its name) to mount as a normal user this same 
samba share.

Any solution??
Tx/Alain
