The SMB services are no longer mounted. The reason is that the "credentials" (or "cred") option in is ignored, and also when using the mount command. If I remove "credentials" and add "username=xxx,password=yyy", the services are mounted. I cannot tell if it is the "credentials" option or something about the password file (which has 600 permission). There were no messages in <dmesg> about the credentials file, only that the mount failed because of incorrect authentication. The same applies to . Note: I decided to make this severity level Major because of the security implications; the passwords are in plain text in a world readable file.

Use the "credentials" option in to mount remote SMB services, or "mount.cifs //service-name <mount-point> -o credentials=<path-to-cred-file>". 2. Install or upgrade to openSuse v11.3 Actual Results: The services are not mounted at startup or with the mount command. Expected Results: The services are mounted at startup or with the mount command. Here are two typical fstab entries. (The first is an OS/2 server that needs a lot of cajoling.) //sma-server1/graphics /w cifs credentials=/home/sma-user4/.smb/.smbpw,uid=sma-user4,gid=users,sec=lanman,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777,servern=SMA-SERVER1,nocase,noserverino 0 0 //sma-nas-01/photos /v cifs credentials=/home/sma-user4/.smb/.smbpw,uid=jmoe,gid=users 0 0 looks like this: username=xxx password=yyy -- 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.
