Package: kde-plasma-desktop
Version: 5:62
Severity: normal


I have two mount points for cifs shares.  With the current cifs-utils, I can mount those shares as a normal user like so:

	The relevant fstab entry:

//files.ci.juneau.ak.us/james$      /home/james/G        cifs    acl,rw,user,noauto,credentials=/home/james/.nt/creds 0 0

	Mounting the share in konsole:
james@mis-jz-lnx:~$ mount G                                                                                                                                                     
james@mis-jz-lnx:~$ df -hT

james@mis-jz-lnx:~$ 

I have a desktop shortcut for this share, created by right clicking on the desktop, selecting create new -> link to device -> hard disk device.  Then clicking on the device tab and selecting the cifs mount from the device dropdown list.

However when I click on the resulting desktop shortcut to the device, KDE tells me that I cannot mount the share:

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: only root can do that

This definitely worked in KDE 3.5.9 (Lenny), and I seem to recall it worked in earlier versions of Squeeze before the cifs-utils package had it's suid security issue.

I expected it to work again now that cifs-utils has it's setuid behavior restored.

I'm kind of guessing as to the KDE package I should file against.  If this isn't the appropriate package please accept my apologies & push it to the correct one.

Thank you!
