Hi.

Since a previous update (I can't remember which) mount can't open
credential file, showing the following error message:

error -1 (Unknown error 18446744073709551615) opening credential file
/etc/samba/credentials

My configuration doesn't change at anytime and it has been working
properly sometime ago (before that update which I can't remember).

This is my configuration info:

# cat /etc/fstab

//192.168.0.100/software /media/software cifs
user,noauto,credentials=/etc/samba/credentials    0       0


# ls -l /etc/samba
total 20
-rw------- 1 root root    37 may 18 12:03 credentials


$ mount /media/software
error -1 (Unknown error 18446744073709551615) opening credential file
/etc/samba/credentials


If I change credentials privileges, so all can read the file, mount
works fine, but I exposed my credentials data to anyone.

Regards.
