[PATCH][SMB3] warn on confusing error scenario with sec=krb5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



    When mounting with Kerberos, users have been confused about the
    default error returned in scenarios in which either keyutils is
    not installed or the user did not properly acquire a krb5 ticket.
    Log a warning message in the case that "ENOKEY" is returned
    from the get_spnego_key upcall so that users can better understand
    why mount failed in those two cases.
