Well, you can just try and see what's happening. Or you can get the
utility that allows users to execute processes with super-user uid.
I'm not really sure but I think it's called 'suexec' or something like
that. But IMHO the best solution is just 'su -' and mount SMB filesystem
with 'smbmount' or 'mount -t smbfs'. And more, it's SAFE and SECURE...

Smbmount utility actually just parses the parameter strings and
calls 'mount(2)'. Therefore smbmount requires SMBFS support in kernel.
For example, I have samba on my SPARC running Sol 7, but I can't
mount SMB filesystems, since Sol 7 doesn't support smbfs. So smbmount
should be considered just as Linux-specific add-on for Samba.
And may the source be with you.
