Bug Description

Binary package hint: keyutils

I'm mounting a remote cifs share using sec=krb5 to mount it passwordless (auth token provided by kerberos) and it worked well in Ubuntu 10.04. After upgradi ng to 10.10, it's broken with a

mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

error message.
if you install the "keyutils" package the problem is fixed, so keyutils should be brought in by some other package in the upgrade process 8as said, it worked before)

in 10.04 it is smbfs which pulls keyring in. something changed apparently cause I do had smbfs installed in 10.04 prior to upgrade

So this bug would be in smbfs (cifs-utils) rather than keyutils.

Steve, what do you think of having cifs-utils Recommend keyutils?
