Wow, about 6 months since last cifs-utils release. How time flies. With
Guenter's fix for the uppercasing of device names last week, it's
probably a good time to go ahead make a new one.

There's not much activity this cycle so this is mostly bugfixes, though
there is a new autoconf option to allow you to configure the PAM
installation directory from Lars.

Go forth and download!

    cifskey: better use snprintf()
    
    Prefer snprintf() over sprintf() in cifskey.c
    Projects that fork the code (pam_cifscreds) can't rely on
    the max-size parameters.
    
    [jlayton: removed unneeded initialization of "len" in key_add]

    cifscreds: better error handling when key_search fails
    
    If we ended up getting a bogus string that would have overflowed, then
    make key_search set errno to EINVAL before returning. The callers can
    then test to see if the returned error is what was expected or something
    else and handle it appropriately.

Date:   Sun Apr 20 20:41:05 2014 -0400

    cifscreds: better error handling for key_add
    
    If the string buffers would have been overrun, set errno to EINVAL
    before returning. Then, have the callers report the errors to
    stderr or syslog as appropriate.

commit 43fd65ba0fca85a86a79e84bb2bc42b531d858e6
Author: Guenter Kukkukk <kukks at samba.org>
Date:   Tue Jul 1 17:43:55 2014 +0200

    mount.cifs: on 2nd try mount.cifs must also uppercase "orig_dev"
    
    Recent kernels now ignore "unc=..." mount option. mount.cifs, when
    getting errno=ENXIO, retries the mount with uppercased hostname,
    sharename and prefixpath in the "unc=..." mount option, which is ignored
    now in the kernel. Used e.g. during OS/2 mounts, which fail now.
    
    Also uppercase the now used "orig_dev" parameter.
