[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#681873: cifs-utils: mount.cifs does not check errno correctly

[Matthew Vernon]

Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:5.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have the following fstab entry:

//san/Homes/MVernon  /mnt/H    cifs credentials=/root/saccreds,user,noauto 0 0

mounting this as a user fails; that's not the problem here,
though. The problem is the error message:

error -1 (Unknown error 18446744073709551615) opening credential file /root/saccreds

open_cred_file fails to use errno when access() fails. The attached
trivial patch fixes this.

Regards,

Matthew
