Description Robert Carboneau 2005-10-07 12:44:06 UTC

The man page for smbumount contains this text: "The normal umount program works
perfectly well, but it would certainly be problematic to make umount setuid root."

umount -is- setuid root. So that non-root users can umount their "user" shares,
y'know?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. man smbumount

Actual Results:  
Received a peculiar statement about /bin/umount.

Expected Results:  
Truthful information.
