You are right - if you are missing mount.cifs you will see what is
passed into previous mounts, including the password (and cifs can't
filter it out for you since this is being done by mount).   Not sure if
this is fixable though - you should have mount.cifs installed (when this
would not be a problem) and Fedora does package mount.cifs.

I installed 'cifs-utils', which provides /sbin/mount.cifs,
but 'mount' output is the same.

[root@ct503-10G-09 lanforge]# mount.cifs -V
mount.cifs version: 4.6


Running "mount" without args just displays the contents of /etc/mtab.
If you did the mount previously and then installed mount.cifs, it won't
fix the contents of /etc/mtab. New mounts shouldn't store the password
in /etc/mtab though.


Ahh, that did indeed fix it.

Thanks,
Ben
