Public bug reported: I have the following setup:
A samba server on Ubuntu 12.04, and a samba client on 12.04 My fstab line looks as follows: //cifserver.mydomain.com/data /data cifs cache=strict,sec=krb5,multiuser,acl,user=SERVERNAME$ 0 0 The client name is: servername.mydomain.com The cifs server name is: cifserver.mydomain.com I'm using windbind with idmap_rid to enumerate uids & gids. I have joined both servers to the domain and created a krb5.keytab. After the system has booted, I can login as root via ssh key & run "mount /data" as root (no kerberos tickets) and the share WILL mount & work properly and I'm assigned a kerberos default:principal of servername$mydomain.com , a krbtgt & a cifs/server service ticket. It works. Multiuser permissions work as well (very cool). If I try to have this work via fstab, it does NOT work with the following cifs.upcall errors: > cifs.upcall: key description: > cifs.spnego;0;0;3f000000;ver=0x2;host=cifserver.mydomain.com;ip4=10.1.5.16;sec=krb5;uid=0x0;creduid=0x0;user=SERVERNAME$;pid=0x2c7 > cifs.upcall: ver=2 > cifs.upcall: host=cifserver.mydomain.com > cifs.upcall: ip=10.1.5.16 > cifs.upcall: sec=1 > cifs.upcall: uid=0 > cifs.upcall: creduid=0 > cifs.upcall: user=SERVERNAME$ > cifs.upcall: pid=711 > cifs.upcall: krb5_get_init_creds_keytab: -1765328347 > cifs.upcall: handle_krb5_mech: getting service ticket for > cifs/cifserver.mydomain.com > cifs.upcall: cifs_krb5_get_req: unable to resolve (null) to ccache > cifs.upcall: handle_krb5_mech: failed to obtain service ticket (-1765328245) > cifs.upcall: handle_krb5_mech: getting service ticket for > host/cifserver.mydomain.com > cifs.upcall: cifs_krb5_get_req: unable to resolve (null) to ccache > cifs.upcall: handle_krb5_mech: failed to obtain service ticket (-1765328245) I've reported this to the linux kernel cifs list & it seems that the cifs share is trying to mount prior to the system being ready. For this reason I've assigned this to upstart. If this should belong to another package, feel free to move it. This is my best guess.

If there is a more proper way/place to have auto-mounted cifs mounts with kerberos credentials mounted at startup, please advise. I need this share up at boot even if nobody has logged in so that automated jobs & other services can run. ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1130781 Title: Can't mount samba share with krb/multiuser at bootup in fstab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1130781/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
