Whow, good point. You just found the problem: having a space before the username produces the error. having a space before the password seems to be ok. Ok, then this becomes an instance of bug #369495; merging. Unfortunately, I have to say that the mount.cifs semantics are the more correct because whitespace (including leading whitespace) is significant in passwords and trimming whitespace therefore makes it impossible to represent some possible passwords in credentials files. So this bug is wontfix as far as fully supporting the old syntax, but there is an open request for improved documentation. Please read my above comment: A leading space before the password does not matter at the moment. But a leading whitespace in the username matters. Either, the docs should mention this exception or (maybe better) we need a fix in software (to make leading spaces work for passwords) together with a fix for #369495. It is still an issue for smbfs 3.0.28-1 - i just made a test.
