Summary:	[smbfs] mount_smbfs does not work as non-root

Description Tim J. Robbins 2004-01-18 00:30:11 UTC

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.

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.
How-To-Repeat: sysctl vfs.usermount=1
mount_smbfs //user@server/share /mnt/share

Wow, fumbling on a 10 year old bug, did ever somebody proposed a fix for that problem?
