Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:4.1-1
Severity: normal

In the NEWS.Debian.gz file it says:

"As a consequence, users will no longer be able to run 
mount.cifs directly to mount shares unless mount points 
have been individually configured in /etc/fstab with 
the "user" mount option."

I have such mount points configured:

//server.my.domain/sData               /home/jfzuelow/sData      cifs 
acl,rw,user,noauto,credentials=/home/jfzuelow/.nt/creds 0 0

And yet when I attempt to mount the share:

/sbin/mount.cifs: not installed setuid - "user" CIFS mounts not
supported.jfzue...@mis-jz-lnx:~$

So "user" mounts are not supported after all?

(And there should probably be a \n in the error message anyway.)

Cheers,

James
