Just because it's the first hit when searching for "mount credentials file"... The permission problem comes from the fact that the mount is (if I use it the same way) done by the "current user", due to the user option. I was getting similar problems until I used: chmod 600 <credentials.file>; chown <user> <credentials.file>

| Sep 18, 2014 at 18:27 | comment | added | LJSkow | You are right that if I modify it to say user=[Windows username] in the fstab it will work. But I need non-root users to mount this, and I thought that the user command allowed that. If I change the user=[Windows Username], then I need to add users to allow non-roots to mount. But also isn't the point of the credentials is to have the username and password in them. Non-root users will not be able to alter the fstab but they can alter the credentials file. So what am I doing wrong with my credentials file that it doesn't work correctly? | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:14 | comment | added | LJSkow | I'm not sure why I need to specify user=arg when I put the username in the credentials file. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:12 | comment | added | LJSkow | I'm sorry. In the credentials file the username and password are on two separate lines. I edited the post to reflect that. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 14:11 | comment | added | eyoung100 | From the mount.cifs man page: user=arg specifies the username to connect as. If this is not given, then the environment variable USER is used. This option can also take the form "user%password" or "workgroup/user" or "workgroup/user%password" to allow the password and workgroup to be specified as part of the username. | |
