Today I saw a very weird behavior when mount samba shares.
On F11, I used to mount samba shares with the following command:
mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o username=USER
Then I was prompted for a password. This way, my password was never
printed on the screen.
Now on F13, when I tried the same scenario, I got an error message:
share mount is write-protected, mounting read-only
could not mount share in write protected mode.
After I googled around, I found that, in order to solve the problem, i
have also to pass the password as an option to mount, like:
mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o
username=USER,passwd=PASSWORD
Only thing is, by doing this the password will show up in 'mount'
output:
//sambaserver/share on /local/mountpoint type cifs
(rw,user=USER,passwd=PASSWORD)
and is not visible to me only, but to any user on that system that runs
mount command.
Does anyone knows how to avoid this?
Yes, provide the password via PASSWD environment variable or via a
credentials file. man mount.cifs
