[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#576868: samba-common: mount.cifs can't run setuid

[Gary Dale]

Package: samba-common
Version: 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

Recently you stopped shipping mount.cifs with setuid. Now I can't even 
set setuid. This means that the user option in fstab doesn't work, 
requiring me to mount the shares as root. This prevents me from getting 
the access rights my account should have. I'm sure you have a good 
reason for dissallowing setuid in mount.cifs, but not being able to 
mount cifs shares normally is painful.
