What I am getting is, I connect as 'myself' (using my network account)
but any files I create on the mounted share, while they look like they
are owned by me on the client, if I go to the server the files are
actually created owned by root:

On the client:

On the server:

Moreover, I _cannot_ mount/unmount as a normal user unless smbmnt (not
smbmount) and smbumount are SUID root:

signals:~$ smbmount //sol1/drummonm ./tmp -U drummonm
Added interface ip=137.94.5.88 bcast=137.94.15.255 nmask=255.255.240.0
smbmnt must be installed suid root
mount failed
signals:~$ 

signals:~$ smbumount ./mnt
smbumount must be installed suid root
signals:~$
