I am running Gentoo. I am trying to get my /etc/fstab to automatically mount a remote Samba share at boot time. I have the following in my /etc/fstab file:

//192.168.0.2/share /mnt/share cifs auto,credentials=/home/user/.smbpasswd,uid=1000,umask=002,user 0 0

This works fine if I specify the username and password in the /etc/fstab file. However, if I try to use the credentials file option I get:

CIFS VFS: No username specified

The credential file looks like this:
-rw-------   1 root     wheel   34 Oct  9 22:01 .smbpasswd

The contents look like this:
username=myusername
password=mypassword

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jonathan
