Hi all, when trying to mount a windows file share using the commands below, mount exits immediately with message "password too long" before even attempting the mount:
mount -t smbfs -o username="a user",password="12345678901234567" "//server/share" "/mnt/target" mount -t cifs -o user="a user",password="12345678901234567",sec=ntlmv2 "//server/share" "/mnt/target" But the commands below works (with a 16 characters password): mount -t smbfs -o username="a user",password="1234567890123456" "//server/share" "/mnt/target" mount -t cifs -o user="a user",password="1234567890123456",sec=ntlmv2 "//server/share" "/mnt/target" It also works if I omit the password option and type it in when prompted (though this is not a good option as I do multiple mounts in a script). Is it something I have done wrong or is this a problem with the new version? (Note: This problem started after I upgraded to Xubuntu 8.04 which uses smbfs 3.0.28a, however, it was fine in Xubuntu 7.10 (3.0.26a? - can't remember the exact version...) ) Thanks!
