Hello, I just found out that on my system another user than the username in the credentialsfile is not honoured over a cifs mount. I just tried to change the permissions to root as root, in a cifs share mounted with a credentials file with username=sbon. I've read the mount.cifs manpage: Because CIFS mounts are generally single-user, and the same credentials are used no matter what user accesses the mount, newly created files and directories will generally be given ownership corresponding to whatever credentials were used to mount the share. I thought that this hasn't been so. I'm not sure, but I can remember these mounts do honour the userid of the user accessing the mount. Am I wrong here? Stef
