Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cifs-utils
Please tell me if this is the wrong channel. I have put this in the ubuntu forum with no reply here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1623107 >From the thread: mount.cifs used to be able to work with kerberos tickets so long as I changed the binary to suid root. I understand why this may have fallen out of favour but since Meerkat, I am unable to get mount.cifs to mount using kerberos and sudo. # Non sudo mount.cifs with/without suid root $ mount.cifs //server/share/directory ~/central -o sec=krb5 mount.cifs: permission denied: no match for /home/CauserC/central found in /etc/fstab # Sudo mount.cifs with/without suid root $ sudo mount.cifs //server/share/directory ~/central -o sec=krb5 mount error(126): Required key not available I do definitely have a kerberos ticket, and both klist and "sudo klist" show it to me. Now, it does work if I do a "sudo kinit $USERNAME." Then a sudo mount.cifs mounts the share no problem. This is obviously less than ideal because it involves typing in a password again, and subsequent non sudo klists result in: $ klist klist: Credentials cache permissions incorrect while setting cache flags (ticket cache FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_10009_8ZePnt) I'm tempted to file this as a bug report but wanted to check in here first to make sure that I'm not doing anything stupid. As I say, I never tried this in Lucid as suid root worked fine.
