Why "user" two times? And it must be entred to the end of the 4 column,
or even use "users" instead (see man mount). There is not need for
setting smbmnt and smbumount suid.
Instead of using password data inside the worldreadable /etc/fstab file
I would recommend using "credentials=/home/$user/.samba" syntax in the
4th column to pass the authentification data. The credentials file in
the user home then contains the username and password data.

Yes, setting suid bit is not recommended. Where it is really needed to
set special permissions I would use sudo (setting permissions with
visudo).
