Lucid Lynx and mounting Windows shares using cifs
By default in Lucid it would seem that it is impossible to mount a windows share using the mount.cifs command
This is because the 'set uid bit' is not set.
It can be sorted by the following commands
sudo chmod +s `which mount.cifs`
sudo chmod +s `which umount.cifs`

It may not be ready for *your* desktop; it is certainly ready for mine ;-)
