smbclient authfile format

[Arne Henningsen]

Hi Uriel,

I use smbclient version "2.2.8a-SuSE" on SuSE 9.0. 
Mounting SMB shares on a win 2000 server works with
smbmount //<server>/<share> <mountpoint> -o credentials=<path to my authfile>

and accessing the shares also works with the same authfile:
smbclient //<server>/<share> -A <path to my authfile>

My authfile is
username = <myusername>
password = <mypassword>

Do the file permissions matter? (I have "600")

Maybe this helps,
Arne
