Thank you, Luca, for your hint. However, I have already set the smbmnt command
setuid, but this did not solve my problem. I can mount a smb share as a
normal user with
smbmount //server/share /mnt/xxx -o ...
and also with
/sbin/mount.smbfs //server/share /mnt/xxx -o ...
but not with
mount /mnt/xxx
(assuming /mnt/xxx is in /etc/fstab), which is much more convenient.
Now I found out that a normal user also can NOT mount a smb share with
mount //server/share /mnt/xxx -t smbfs -o ...
and I guess that this is the reason why only root can mount the samba shares
that are in /etc/fstab with "mount /mnt/xxx".
Is there anything I can do to change this (/bin/mount is already setuid)?
Thanks,
Arne
