[Samba] user mount problems

[Joel Hammer]

As root, run this command:

chmod +s your smbmnt program.

Now, the listing with the * at the end doesn't look familiar to me.
My smbmnt hangs out in the /usr/local/samba path.
Maybe the listing you show is a symbolic link?
Maybe the listing you show is an old version of smbmnt not used by your
current version of samba?

I would try locate smbmnt and see if any other versions show up.
