Bug#307096: Visible password

2010-06-04 Thread Zbynek Michl 
 You must not misuse option 'username' the way you do, it is for
 pam_mount only.

Hmm, I should read man page more carefully next time. So I used secrets file 
instead. Thanks Werner! :)

Bug#307096: Visible password

2010-06-03 Thread Zbynek Michl 
Hi there,

if I specify username as an option when mounting fs, then the password is 
visible on screen when typing it.

Example:
# mount -t davfs -o username=myname https://myserver.cz/mydir /mnt/mnt/
  Password:  mypassword


Regards,
Zbynek

Hello Zbynek,

where did you take your information about option 'username' from?
This is what 'man mount.davfs' says:

username=WebDAV_user
Use this name to  authenticate  with  the  WebDAV server.  This option
is intended for use with pam_mount only. When this option is set the
credentials in the secrets files will be ignored. The password  will
always  be  read  from  stdin,  even when option askauth is set to 0.
Do not use it in fstab. The username  will be visible for everyone in
the output of ps. 

You must not misuse option 'username' the way you do, it is for
pam_mount only.
