Package: cifs-utils Version: 2:6.7-1 Severity: minor File: /sbin/mount.cifs
Dear Maintainer, I know the relevant section of the manpage of mount.cifs where the option "password" is explaint. mount.cifs will always ask for a password (if it is not given implicite with environment variable or credential file) also when guest users are allowed on the samba share. This makes no sense and I see no good reason for that behaviour. Describing that buggy behaviour in the manpage doesn't make it better. It is a bug. kind -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.10.4-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages cifs-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libcap-ng0 0.7.7-3+b1 ii libkeyutils1 1.5.9-9 ii libkrb5-3 1.15-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.5 ii libtalloc2 2.1.8-1 ii libwbclient0 2:4.5.6+dfsg-1 ii samba-common 2:4.5.6+dfsg-1 cifs-utils recommends no packages.
