[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.
