Samba client for Linux

I am trying to set about 10 Linux workstations as Samba clients (guest 
accounts) with an automated share mount, but it appears that 
smbfs(?)only allows root to mount these shares as a guest. I tried using 
the chmod +s command on smbmnt/smbumount but no luck.  I guessed that 
smbfs is compiled into the kernel and overriding the chmod, so I looked 
for a simpler solution. Is there any way to write a bash script so that 
it automatically responds to the SU password prompt?


Thank you,


James Leone


P.S. This is the last piece of info I need for my office as well the 
simple guide.
