Standard Fedora 13, as far as I can tell, and I have no mount.cifs in $PATH [root@ct503-10G-09 lanforge]# mount -V mount from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 (with libblkid and selinux support) [root@ct503-10G-09 lanforge]# more /etc/issue Fedora release 13 (Goddard) Kernel \r on an \m (\l) [root@ct503-10G-09 lanforge]# which mount.cifs /usr/bin/which: no mount.cifs in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/xorp/sbin:/root/bin) Password is not shown in /proc/mounts, so that part seems fine.
