Fedora Users — Re: Fedora 13 Samba weirdness

1. create a file anyware containing your credentials (I used /etc/.smbcreds) mybe use a place that only you can access
    Formate it like this
    username=yourusername
    password=yourpassword

2. run the mount command like this
    mount -t cifs //server_ip/share /yourmountpoint/ -o credentials=/etc/.smbcreds

I use this on fedora 13 with no problems and no password in the mount command output

hope it helps

not feasible, as PASSWD env var is already used.
And anyway, by using it I have the same error:

[calin@calin ~]$ sudo mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o
username=USER
mount: block device //sambaserver/share is write-protected, mounting
read-only
mount: cannot mount block device //sambaserver/share read-only

Now this becomes weirder:

[calin@calin ~]$ man mount.cifs
No manual entry for mount.cifs

[calin@calin ~]$ yum search mount.cifs
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves, security
Warning: No matches found for: mount.cifs
No Matches found

man mount:

Mount options for cifs
See the options section of the mount.cifs(8) man page
(samba-client package
must be installed).

[calin@calin ~]$ yum list samba-client
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves, security

Any ideea where I could find that man for mount.cifs? :)
