[Bug 1772148] [NEW] Mount.cifs does not work without keyutils being installed

Sat May 19 10:32:41 UTC 2018

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In 17.10 you could mount a cifs network-drive via

> sudo mount -t cifs  //xx.yy.zz/abc t -o
vers=1.0,username=xxxxxx,sec=ntlm,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,domain=DD

having cifs-utils (and smbclient) installed manually.

But in 18.04 (both with SMB1 and moving til SMB3) it does not work until
keyutils has been installed.

The only error I see, when the cifs mount is not working, is a -2 error
("mount error(2): No such file or directory"  or  "CIFS VFS: cifs_mount
failed w/return code = -2"):

mbmount> sudo mount -t cifs //xx.yy.zz/abc t --verbose -o vers=3,username=xxxxxx,sec=ntlmv2,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,domain=DD,nounix
Password for xxxxx:  ********
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Keyutils were not manually installed in my 17.10 system. And I am aware
of the change in default SMB versions from kernel 4.13.5 and on (cause
me to insert the vers=1.0 in the mount options):

>From man mount.cifs:
 "The  default since v4.13.5 is for the client and server to negotiate the highest possible
 version greater than or equal to 2.1. In kernels prior to
 v4.13, the default was 1.0. For kernels between v4.13 and v4.13.5 the default is 3.0."

And there are no fundamental change in the packages for cifs-utils, as I
can see (both suggests to use keyutils!).
