Hi all,
Does anybody know how to get "mount.cifs -ocredentials=path/to/file" to work
when there are international characters in the credentials file?
I tested this with a password containing the £ (British pound) sign and I got
the following error:
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
The credentials file appears to be UTF-8, with all the characters one byte wide
except for the "£" sign which is encoded as "0xc2 0xa3".
I am using samba-client-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 with linux-2.6.27 and Windows 2003
Server to host the share.
Regards,
Alex
