Hello,

this now fails even if i have an entry in fstab:

//192.168.0.10/foo/	/media/capsule	cifs 
credentials=/etc/pwd/foopwd,rw,iocharset=utf8,noauto,user	1 2

$ mount /media/capsule
This program is not installed setuid root -  "user" CIFS mounts not 
supported.

debian sid: cifs-utils 2:5.3-2

I'm not an avid cifs user, but it looks like a recent regression from 
2012, it used to work even without setuid last year :)

The fstab configuration has been untouched since last autunm.

thanks,
riccardo
