            Bug ID: 14506
           Summary: cifs mount with missing krb5 key should give better
                    error message
           Product: CifsVFS
           Version: 5.x
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: user space tools
          Assignee: jlayton@xxxxxxxxx
          Reporter: bjacke@xxxxxxxxx
        QA Contact: cifs-qa@xxxxxxxxx
  Target Milestone: ---

when trying to mount a cifs share with sec=krb5 but with missing krb5 key, then
the mount command returns:

mount error(2): No such file or directory

This error message does not really help most of the users, I think.

If there is a sec=krb5 cifs mount with an *expired* key and you try to access
the mount point, the error message is better:

ls: Öffnen von Verzeichnis '.' nicht möglich: Der notwendige Schlüssel ist
nicht verfügbar

(in English like "opening directory "." not possible: the required key is not
availbale"). 

A similar message would be good at mount time if the required key is not
available.
