When I tried to mount some shares as user, I got: libsmb based programs must *NOT* be setuid root. 19223: Connection to nautilus failed SMB connection failed 'chmod 711 /usr/bin/smbmount' solved the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
'emerge info'? It seems to me this is not a bug, but a security restricion of your client. With automount, for example, smbmount must be suid.
^^^ must -> could

I think this is a recent change (I first noticed the problem in samba-3.0.20a, but hadn't updated for a few weeks before that), but /usr/bin/smbmount *must not* be SUID root. As the original reporter said, after running 'chmod u-s /usr/bin/smbmount', ordinary users can mount and unmount their SMB shares. Only /usr/bin/smbmnt and /usr/bin/smbumount need to be SUID root for ordinary users to mount and unmount SMB shares.
sorry, you're right: the package will be fixed with the bump of 3.0.20b
samba-3.0.20b in portage. Please reopen if needed
