Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:4.5-2
Severity: normal

After update to Squeeze normal users ar not allowed to mount windows shares 
with smbmount (i.e /sbin/mount.cifs) All of them get the message:
"mount.cifs: Permission Denied: no match for /home/user/dir in /etc/fstab" 
As root I can mount windows shares 
But I need the normal users 
can mount windows shares without writting /etc/fstab

The recipe of setuid root /sbin/mount.cifs no longer works

Can I workaround this problem?
Please Help.!!!
