Mounting windows share via cifs (fstab entry) - error 13 opening credentials file
Distro: 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5
The following command works via terminal. mount -t cifs //windowsxpbox/windows\ share /media/mount\ point/ -o credentials=/home/user1/.cifscredentials The above .cifscredentials file has the following permissions: -rwxr--r-- 1 root root Below is the entry format of said credentials file: username=username password=password [An empty line or space is here] The following is the fstab entry for the above windowsxp share: //windowsxpbox/windows\040share /media/mount\040point cifs credentials=/home/user1/.cifscredentials 0 0 Upon rebooting, I receive error 13 opening credentials file Note: Adding auto, in front of the credentials=... column does not resolve error 13. What am I overlooking in the fstab entry or permissions? |
My guess would be the problem is with the order things are mounted in your fstab. Is your windowsxp share mounted before your /home fielsystem?
|
Try this: after your system is booted up, can you then manually do a mount -a and see if that works?
Also, I would not make the permission of your .cifscredential file 744. I would make it 400! This way users cannot view your username/password except admins on your system. |
