Description Alastair Nicol 2002-05-10 12:10:57 UTC
hi,
  to enable users to mount windows shares on gentoo
the following programs must be installed suid root

smbmnt
smbumount

check out the man pages for above binaries for details.

NOTE: smbmount does NOT (and will not work is set) need suid root.

the emerge doesnt currently install these files with suid root.

(samba-2.2.4.ebuild)

okay, in the past we've expected the user to 
set his setuid bits himself.

but now i've changed the samba ebuild to do it.

thanks for the report.

fixed in samba-2.2.4-r1
