I can dig that, but this behaviour is IMHO not acceptable. If I do something as a regular user, I should not need root privileges to tidy it up. If smbmount (which is SUID root) messes up my mount point, and I need to be root to clear it up, I cannot for instance allow regular users to mount CIFS filesystems. Short: If it messed things up, it should be able to fix them. For instance - allow smbumount to unmount it regardless of the credentials. -- Arik ********************************************************************** This email and attachments have been scanned for potential proprietary or sensitive information leakage.
