Most everyday tasks don't require a root shell to root when you need to perform special tasks.
The inference is to only su or sudo when required .

Also, use the cifs client rather than smbfs, as that is more modern .
Add the gid=root option to the options.

In it MyApp.MyClass, then you would do this;
