Public bug reported: I mount my samba shares with the following command:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=admin,password=very.long.password.with.dot //server/sharename /pub/disk On 12.10, the command works flawlessly and correctly mounts the share. After I upgraded to 13.04, the command no longer worked and always produced the following output: mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) Note that accessing the samba mount with krusader works correctly (I have to input the username/password of course). I am no longer on Ubuntu 13.04 so I cannot provide exact versions of packages. But the error is reproducible on a fully updated Ubuntu 13.04 x86-32. My guess is that the error occurs because the password contains a dot character and the -o parameter gets parsed incorrectly. Or perhaps the password is too long (27 characters).
