Sorry, have to correct myself!

$ la /usr/bin/smbmnt /usr/bin/smbumount
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root root 9824 12. Feb 20:44 /usr/bin/smbmnt
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root root 7464 12. Feb 20:44 /usr/bin/smbumount

You should be in general be very careful what to set suid root. By
default mount and umount are suid root too:

$ la $(which mount) $(which umount)
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root root 74240 11. Sep 2003  /bin/mount
-rwsr-xr-x  1 root root 36580 11. Sep 2003  /bin/umount
