Thanks for the hint, it actually helped. However I'm having the problem that
	mount -t cifs -ouser=uname //rkapoka1/HostData ~/stest
works when entering the password interactively, while
	mount -t cifs -ocredentials=scred //rkapoka1/HostData ~/stest
does not work when the correct password had been specified in the credential file 
as documented.

OK, found that as well: there are no blanks allowed around '=' (in contradiction 
to "cmb.conf standards". Maybe add an extra line of warning to the manual page of 
mount.cifs.

Problem solved now, thanks for the excellent reply, and sorry about my dumbness.
