The exact same commandline which works in openSUSE 11.2 does NOT work in openSUSE 11.3. mount -t cifs //servername/someshare /mnt -o credentials=/root/cifs.credentials on 11.3, mount.cifs *always* prompts for a password on 11.2, it does not. ever. An strace of mount.cifs clearly shows that it is never even accessing the credentials file. This is very easy to test. 1. type 'man mount.cifs' and create a credentials file as described 2. construct a mount -t cifs commandline which mounts the share. 3. watch it ask for a password. 4. use strace to verify that it's not ever even accessing the credentials file.
