Hi,
I have a CIFS share that I mount on a CentOS6.4.
Currently I am keeping the password in a regular hidden file, for example /test/.cred with the username and password. the /etc/fstab directive points to that file. for example:
//10.0.0.1/share /mnt cifs defaults,credentials=/test/.cred
Since this file is readable by the root user, I figured if there might be a way to encrypt this file, and with decrypt this file with a script so the mount will succeed, and then encrypt it again. or maybe there is another way of doing this? any ideas?
