Hi whenever i try to mount a samba share which is a samba server i get an error message that says "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct mounts(500, 500) smbmnt failed1" Anybody there who can help please? i've consulted sambalist and adviced to visit the foolowing site below http://www.bnro.de/~schmidjo/faq/index.html#faq9 and it says; login as root and change to the directory where this tools resides (/usr/bin ?) do a 'ls -l smbmnt', you'll see something like -rwxr-xr-x So when i try to do the ls i get a message that says "COULD NOT FIND THE PROGRAM" What i need is to see the samba shares automatically when i logon as a normal user. and anothe thing when i see the shares; ie. as root ; the files tha are op[ened by OpenOffice .org can't be opened, instead i get a message that says, "AN UNRECOVERABLE ERROR HAS OCCURED. ALL MODIFIED FILES HAVE BEEN SAVED AND CAN ONLY BE RECOVERED AT PROGRAM RESTART" and when i restart the program and open the file again the error message is displayed. Anybody with an idea please. Rgds, Segie.
