Bug 82831 – mounting cifs fs failed with credential - file

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Toralf Förster 2005-02-21 08:08:59 UTC]

mounting a cifs - filesystem failed using a credential file with username & password. This credential  file itself seems to be ok because mounting the share as smbfs works.

nhh221 ~ # mount -t cifs //<snip>/<snip> /mnt/office/public -o auto,uid=1000,gid=100,credentials=/home/<snip>/.smbcredentials
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

works not !

nhh221 ~ # mount -t cifs //<snip>/<snip> /mnt/office/public -o auto,uid=1000,gid=100,username=<snip>,password=<snip>

works !

nhh221 ~ # mount -t smbfs //<snip>/<snip> /mnt/office/public -o auto,uid=1000,gid=100,username=<snip>,password=<snip>
opts: rw
opts: uid=1000
opts: gid=100
opts: username=<snip>
opts: password=<snip>
mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.10)
added interface ip=<snip> bcast=<snip>.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

resolve_wins: WINS server resolution selected and no WINS servers listed.
resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name <snip><0x20>

works !

fixed : http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4307

[Comment 2 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-03-14 07:41:26 UTC]

Great. I'll leave it for the official developers to get the functionality into the kernel tree.

[Comment 3 Toralf Förster 2005-03-19 05:13:59 UTC]

there is a fix available : http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4307#c7

[Comment 4 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-03-19 05:26:00 UTC]

Ok, its a samba fix as opposed to a kernel patch.

[Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-03-19 05:26:59 UTC]

Samba people: The fix for this bug is client-side in the samba mounter program. Theres a patch here:

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4307#c7

I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to patch now or wait for 3.0.13. Thanks.

[Comment 6 Christian Andreetta (RETIRED) 2005-03-24 04:46:05 UTC]

I think I'll leave it for 3.0.13 version.
many thanks for the upstream signalling (and fix).
