Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:6.7-1
Severity: minor
File: /sbin/mount.cifs
Dear Maintainer,
I know the relevant section of the manpage of mount.cifs where the option
"password" is explaint.
mount.cifs will always ask for a password (if it is not given implicite with
environment variable or credential file) also when guest users are allowed on
the samba share. This makes no sense and I see no good reason for that
behaviour.
Describing that buggy behaviour in the manpage doesn't make it better. It is a
bug.
