Description:

I'm unable to mount password protected samba shares either with smb4k or from the command line, I've googled around, and the error is related to mount.cifs, which doesn't allow to pass the -o password option, with mount.smbfs it works, but I can't find the package containing this file. Earlier everything worked, since some update, the error is the following:
mounting share readonly
unable to mount share readonly
in dmesg cifs error code= -13

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
samba 3.5.8-2
cifs-utils 4.9-2
kernel26 2.6.38.3

Any help appreciated

Steps to reproduce:

mount //share /mountpoint -t cifs -o user=sbdy -o password=sthg -o ip=xxx.yyy.xxx.yyy

Any help appreciated.

Thx
