Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: normal
DESCRIPTION
Moving from smb => cifs mounts in /etc/fstab and using parameter
credentials=/etc/my/samba.cred
PROBLEM
It took some time to figure why the new connection type cifs gave
always error that password/username did not match. The orignal
credentials file for smb mounts included lines:
username = foo
password = pass
But when using the cifs mount type, it had to be in form:
username=foo
password=pass
SUGGESTION
As this transition will probably cause headache for everyone else too,
please add to the manual page (to the end of DESCRIPTION heading)
lines:
NOTE: When migrating from samba mount type to cifs, the
credentials file has now more strict format. The smb mount type
allowed defining variables in separate credentials file with
spaces:
username = foo
The assignments must now be written without spaces:
username=foo
