Comment 12 for bug 563805

    I disagree with Dietmar's comment #5, which says that 9.10 didn't have the setuid bit.

Here is my Ubuntu 9.10:

root@cst6:~# ls -la /bin/mount /sbin/mount.cifs
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 78096 2009-10-22 21:28 /bin/mount
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 36296 2010-03-22 15:27 /sbin/mount.cifs

Here is my Ubuntu 10.4:

root@cst5:/etc/samba# ls -la /bin/mount /sbin/mount.cifs
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 82256 2010-03-22 10:57 /bin/mount
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35648 2010-04-09 10:38 /sbin/mount.cifs

    As an aside, I see that /sbin/mount.nfs are still set to be setuid (in Ubuntu 10.4):

root@cst5:/etc/samba# ls -la /sbin/mount.nfs
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 94544 2010-03-23 23:18 /sbin/mount.nfs
