hello,

i am using samba 2.2.4 on freebsd 4.6.2 release. is it possible to mount smb
shares using mount_smbfs with a non-root account? or do i have to use sudo?
when i try to mount an smb share off my windows xp box onto my freebsd box,
i get the following:

~$ mount_smbfs //neelix/mike /mnt/mike
Warning: no cfg file(s) found.
mount_smbfs: can not setup kernel iconv table (default:tolower): syserr =
Operation not permitted

however, when i run the same command as root, it works as expected.
furthermore, smbclient works under a unpriviledged account.  there were no
messages outputted to my log files.

i've been google'ing for hours, as well as poring through man pages and
documentation, and the samba list archive.  i would very much appreciate
your help.

mike
