I'm trying to set up a Samba mount point to a WinME computer so that a user can
mount the file system.  I'm getting the following error when I attempt the mount:

$ mount /jan.fcwm.org/
smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (500,500)
smbmnt failed: 1

How do I install smbmnt suid root?

Running Red Hat 7.2, and have the following rpms installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-2.2.1a-4
samba-common-2.2.1a-4
samba-client-2.2.1a-4
samba-swat-2.2.1a-4
