[Bug 563805] [NEW] mount.cifs won't mount shares; set uid bit not set

[Dutchy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

In 9.10 this worked fine:

dutchy at vampire:~$ mount.cifs //dragon/dutchy ~/dragon/
Password:

In 10.04, i get:

dutchy at vampire:~$ mount.cifs //dragon/dutchy dragon/
Password: 
mount error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Setting the set uid bit fixed the problem:
dutchy at vampire:~$ sudo chmod +s /sbin/umount.cifs

I am quite sure I didn't change this, so somewhere in the upgrade
process 9.10 -> 10.04 something went wrong.
