Bug#967972: cifs-utils: fails to mount filesystem when keyutils is not installed
Some sources incorrectly indicate that keyutils is only needed with DFS, but keyutils is also needed when using CIFS w/ Kerberos authentication. When trying to mount a CIFS share using kerberos (sec=krb5), the kernel invokes /sbin/request-key to request a key from userspace. Then cifs.upcall (from cifs-utils) is executed to handle the SPNEGO authentication. If keyutils is not installed, then /sbin/request-key is absent, and the kernel is completely silent about this. [ +0.497021] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -2 [ +0.000992] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2 Thus, I strongly agree with the proposal for cifs-utils to *Recommend* keyutils, rather than merely *Suggesting* it.
Bug#967972: cifs-utils: fails to mount filesystem when keyutils is not installed
Package: cifs-utils Version: 2:6.9-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: deb...@tachatte.org Dear Maintainer, when mounting a cifs filesystem I got a "No such file or directory" error message.
