>Description:
mount_smbfs does not work as a non-root user when vfs.usermount is set to 1;
it fails with "Operation not permitted" when trying to install a kernel iconv
table.
>How-To-Repeat:
sysctl vfs.usermount=1
mount_smbfs //user@server/share /mnt/share
>Fix:
Not known. Perhaps mount_smbfs could check whether the iconv table already
exists and avoid trying to load it. This would avoid the problem in the
common case where the table is already loaded.
