Today I saw a very weird behavior when mount samba shares. On F11, I used to mount samba shares with the following command:
mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o username=USER Then I was prompted for a password. This way, my password was never printed on the screen. Now on F13, when I tried the same scenario, I got an error message: share mount is write-protected, mounting read-only could not mount share in write protected mode. After I googled around, I found that, in order to solve the problem, i have also to pass the password as an option to mount, like: mount //sambaserver/share /local/mountpoint -o username=USER,passwd=PASSWORD Only thing is, by doing this the password will show up in 'mount' output: //sambaserver/share on /local/mountpoint type cifs (rw,user=USER,passwd=PASSWORD) and is not visible to me only, but to any user on that system that runs mount command. Does anyone knows how to avoid this?
