[Eug-lug] smbmnt Question

[Dhosthi Dhosthi]

While working in SMB4k to mount win shares on a p2p
network, I get the error: smbmnt must be installed
suid root for direct user mounts (1000.1000)

This may be so obvious, however:
Does this indicate that everytime one mounts the
shares, it requires a current login as ROOT?

I would like to automate the backup of four win boxes
using a beautiful Ubuntu6.10 box that see's the
network but can't get into the shared folders on each,
much less automate a nightly grab of critical files. 
Would hate to keep it running logged in as ROOT.

Cheers,
g
