suid?

[plasmid]

I want to use smbmount to mount a network drive. It works great if I am root, but I get the message "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mount" "smbmnt failed"

how do I make smbmnt suid for my user, and is it safe to do this? If its not safe, is there anotherway to mount a network drive??

thanks

Did you try chmod +s on your app? Also, did you specify in /etc/fstab that users may mount and unmount devices?

what do I need to do to specify things in /etc/fstab?

Also, will I be opening any major security holes by setting it suid root?
