[Samba] samba mounting files

[geralds]

 Hi
 whenever i try to mount a samba share which is a samba server i get an
 error message that says   "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct
 mounts(500, 500) smbmnt failed1"

 On that note i tried to run "smbmount" as root but this did't work out. i
 also tried to run smbmnt as root, up to now my problem was not solved.

 Anybody there who can help please?

Thanks
Rgds,
