In the log I see a reasonable username and a non-empty password being written to the credentials file and passed to mount. Nevertheless mount returns permission denied. I think we should try to check the credentials passed to mount: - please proceed until yast pops up 'Authentication required for ...'. - Enter 'workgroup/username' and 'password'. - press continue. I'd expect authentication to fail and the 'Authentication required for ...' popup appears again. - At this point change to VT2. The temp file that was used to pass the credentians should not yet be deleted. First we need to figure out it's location: - 'grep /bin/mount /var/log/YaST2/y2log' The last output line should contain the mount command we just issued. ...Executing '/bin/mount' '-t' 'cifs' '-o' 'credentials=/var/tmp/TmpFile.k7g6Fd,guest,ro' ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ your file will have a similar name - 'cat /var/tmp/TmpFile.<YOURS>' or 'less /var/tmp/TmpFile.<YOURS>' and check whether the content is actually right. It should be two lines: username=workgroup/username password=password I hope you can figure out what happened to the password. You should be able to repeat the command, maybe with a fixed credentials file. -- 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.
