SMB mount doesn’t work as regular user

This is something old. I “fixed” this several times and it happens again. I just include the solution here (original from this link) so that I don’t need to look for it again.  $sudo chmod +s `which mount.cifs` ### <- that’s as a super user  

mount error(1)

After reinstalling ubuntu 10.04.3, I couldn’t remount to the share drive unless using sudo. I kept getting the error message: mount error(1): Operation not permitted. After a little bit digging, this post solved the problem perfectly!
