Smb4k error when trying to mount folders locally
The error message I get is:
smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1000,1000)
smbmnt failed: 1When I click on a folder within a mate's share on our LAN, it gives me that.. I can mount things fine through CLI.
Any ideas?

Re: Smb4k error when trying to mount folders locally
Just as it says; you need to set suid root on smbmnt to allow direct user mounts; ie. mounts to anywhere not specified in /etc/fstab.
To do so, run (as root)
chmod u+s `which smbmnt`- note, however, that (afaik - I may be mistaken here) this causes smbmnt to run with root privelages no matter which user you run it as, so be careful with it.

Legend, cheers cerebral 
The man page isn't particularly clear about the 's' part, so I wasn't sure...
