[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#423971: cifs: -o guest yields root login

[martin f krafft]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.24-6
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/mount.cifs

I cannot mount cifs as guest:

  piper:~# mount -t cifs -o guest //wall/pub /mnt --verbose
  parsing options: rw,guest

  mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//wall\pub,ip=192.168.14.1,user=root,ver=1,rw 
  mount error 13 = Permission denied

see the user=root. The server logs at debuglevel 3 also show that
it's root trying to log in.

  [2007/05/15 00:20:07, 3] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1010)
    sesssetupX:name=[CIFS_LINUX_DOM]\[root]@[192.168.14.3]

Using smbfs instead of cifs makes the mount work. Specifying
a username/password to the mount.cifs command also works.

This may be a kernel bug. Feel free to reassign. Here is the module
