Description of problem: when using mount.cifs I always specify a credentials file. For example: sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/samba.<username> //server/share /mnt/server/share The credentials file is formatted as: username=<username> password="<password>" however when I run the mount with '-v' I see that its trying to mount with a username of root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mount from util-linux 2.22.1 How reproducible: Every time. I've had to switch over to specifying my user and pass as options to the mount call. I have all of this in my .bashrc as aliases, not a very good solution. I would like to be able to use the credentials option again. Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up a credentials file (example: /etc/samba.<username>) 2. call mount cifs (example: mount -t cifs -o credentials=/etc/samba.<username> //server/share /mountpoint 3. get a mount error(13): Permission denied Actual results: Will not mount, permission denied Expected results: Read the credentials file and mount the share Additional info:
What version of cifs-utils do you have? If it's lower than 5.9-3 then please update to that and let me know if it's still a problem.
