In the 'y2log' file, the line that shows the mount-command that reveals where the password file is being kept indicates that the following command is executed: mount -t cifs -o credentials=/var/tmp/TmpFile.Whatever,ro,guest //140.160.37.158/mnt /var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000001 If I create a file in /var/tmp called "cred" with the same username and password I've been using, and then load with mount-options "credentials=/var/adm/cred,ro" it will mount just fine. If I reuse the auto-generated credentials file with that command line, it works just fine. If I use the mount-options indicated in the y2log file, "credentials=/var/adm/TmpFile.whatever,ro,guest" it fails. This is because my Samba config is configured to reject guest connections. The CIFS mount option of 'guest' seems to trump 'credentials'. I did not indicate to use a guest login during the GRUB install screen, which works just fine since I was able to get a kernel from this SMB share. For some reason, YaST is still attempting a guest-login. So I guess the more accurate description of this bug is: "SMB sources that have guest disabled can not be used by the GUI installer" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
