Hi, I hope I'm on the right list for this question. I'm using debian lenny and have to mount a W2k3 share with kerberos and read the user credentials from a keytab. I found this patch for the old cifs.spnego, but it doesn't seem to be implemented in any version of cifs.upcall: http://fixunix.com/samba/374582-keytab-support-cifs-spnego-helper.html If I get my credentials with "kinit foo" and mount the share afterwards using "mount -t cifs -o sec=krb5,guest ..." it works fine. But if I try something like "mount -t cifs -o username=foo,password=fake,sec=krb5 ..." I get "mount error 126 = Required key not available" My /etc/request-keys.conf looks like this: #OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ... #====== =============== =============== =============== =============================== create cifs.spnego * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall -c %k create dns_resolver * * /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall %k So what's the right way to to this? If there is no possibility, will it be sufficient to have the credentials only at mount-time or do I have to renew them all the time the mount exists?
