Thanks to the users that replied. The problem is totally unrelated to DSN lookups. To make it work I had to suid root /sbin/mount.cifs and add -o user=workgroup/username%password,uid=500,gid=500 It's a disappointment and a big security concern :( but at least it works (although I'm a bit surprised that on a system where your can't eradicate selinux you have to resort to the sledgehammer/suid to make user-mounts work). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
