credentials mount cifs - dot in password string
<p>I'm trying to use files from Windows box in Linux.</p>
<p>If I use <code>mount -t cifs username=xyz, password=Abc.DF,...</code> ==> mount success</p>
<p>If I put a line in /etc/fstab </p>
<p><code>//Windows/share/c /WinShare username=xyz,password=Abc.DF,....</code> ==> mount success</p>
<p>When putting credentials parameter in /etc/fstab</p>
<p><code>//Windows/share/c /WinShare credentials=/root/.passwdfile .....</code></p>
<p>/root/.passwdfile has two lines :</p>
<pre><code>username=xyz
password=Abc.DF
</code></pre>
<p>got </p>
<pre><code>**mount error 13 = Permission denied**
</code></pre>
<p>putting Quotation marks around password=Abc.DF</p>
<p>after</p>
<p>mount /WinShare</p>
<p>got prompt</p>
<p>Password :</p>
<p>and by typing Abc.DF ==> success</p>
<p>Security policy in Windows box is requiring dot(.) in pasword string.</p>
<p>Any Idea ???</p>
