I though I had this one, but nope, still stumped.

I need to be able to SMB mount/unmount via nautilus (right click on desktop,
disks, blah blah).

I got mounting working.

chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
mkdir /mnt/tmp
chown awilliam.users /mnt/tmp

in fstab -
//sardine/homedir     /mnt/tmp     smb  
username=billgates,password=isatwerp,uid=awilliam,gid=users,user 0 0
(all one line of course)

This lets me mount!  I get a cute little shortcut icon on the desktop woof woof.

But I go to unmount and it tells me only root can do that. :(

So obviously I'm missing something.
