Hello

I've just solved this (because i remembered what happened last time)

The problem is that the credentials file must be being parsed incorrectly and any char after the password is passed as part of password (don't know if you understand me because my poor english).

What i did is editing the .credentials file with an hex editor and deleting everything after the last character in the password.

I've used ghex (yum install ghex) (ghex2 /path/to/.credentials)

You'll find anything before the last password character (in my case was 0A (represented as a dot (.) ) in the ascii panel. Then goto the Ascii view (the right) and delete that dot, the (0A in hex becomes 0).

That worked for me and this is being mounted on reboot without problems.

Tell here if this worked for you.

Best

Hi,

I've the same problem on RHEL 5.4 after samba update. I almost tried everything but I had to switch to -username=...,-password=... to get CIFS mount point to work. I opened a case which has been closed because a second system also running on RHEL 5.4 works with this update.

Hope they will fix this issue...

Hello all,

This morning i updated my CentOS (5.4) and that included:

samba-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm samba-client-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm samba-common-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm samba-swat-3.0.33-3.14.el5.i386.rpm

I have several mounts if fstab using a .credentials file that worked until i rebooted with this updates.

I remember time ago was an issue with the format of credentials file (something about a LF at the end or something else)

I've checked the file, added spaces between "=", added a line at the end, between username and passwd... but it doesn't work, i always get an error like (when i do mount -a): mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

(this is repeated for every CIFS share mounted in fstab)

If i mount it "by hand" it works fine: # mount -tcifs -ousername=xxxx //192.168.0.100/xxxxx /media/xxxxx Password:

And then, if i do a mount -a then works! (until i reboot, of course)

# mount -a #

Do anyone knows what is happening?

Best, Jose Maria

I was also hit by this bug. Reported at the CentOS bug tracker:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3960

The upstream bugzilla entries:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532153 (RHEL5)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532094 (RHEL4)

You can workaround this by editing the credentials file and removing the tail LF with an hex editor as i posted early

Best,

The bug has to be fixed upstream, thus the above links. Something that was done in the latest update broke the use of credential file which was previously working fine.

Using the patch offered in the upstream bugzilla, I have rebuilt samba packages for CentOS-5 and made them available for testing:

http://centos.toracat.org/misc/testing/samba/

With the patched version, the credentials file started working once again.
