Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 21.10
smbnetfs/impish,now 0.6.3-1 amd64
I am using smbnetfs to mount smb network shares. Credentials are stored in
libsecret using secret-tools. Server name myserver. Share name public is
unprotected. Share name myshare is protected by password. If I run:
smbnetfs mnt
there are no errors, and I can browse to public shares.
cd mnt/myserver/public
ls
gives the expected result and lists contents.
However,
cd mnt/myserver/myshare
ls
gives:
ls: cannot open directory 'mnt/myserver/myshare': Permission denied
However, if I run with either the -d (debug) or -f (foreground) option,
(-d implies -f), and then in another terminal, or by backgrounding the
running process, I run the above commands, I am able to browse both
public and password protected shares without issue.
I suspect this has something to do with the ability to access
information stored in libsecret when run in the background, but I'm not
certain.
Everything works as expected if I use a .auth file for the credential
storage (which is obviously less secure, but I tested it to help
diagnose the issue).
Also - a side note - the -o use_libsecret option listed in the manual
and with --help both error:
fuse: unknown option `use_libsecret=true'
If the option is set in the .smb/smbnetfs.conf file, the same error is
reported. However, run in the foreground, without this option,
libsecret is used correctly.
