You do need a krb5 ticket somewhere to use as root's credentials. If you set the cruid= mount option that can be a credcache owned by a different user. Alternately, you can set up the system-wide keytab in /etc/krb5.keytab with the correct credentials for root. -- Jeff Layton <[email protected]> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
