    Credentials file being created automatically, then not working

    I have a share on a Windows XP machine, that mounts automatically on startup from the fstab file. from a line like:

    //Su/OGGMusic /home/neil/Music cifs umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,rw,user,username= su,password=abcdef123 0 0

    Ocassionally the share stops working and I have to mount it manually.
    If I then check the fstab file, I find that

    username=su,password=abcdef123

    has gone and been replaced by

    credentials = filename

    The relevant file is there with the correct username and password within it. The system has somehow created it itself, but obviously incorrectly as it no longer mounts.

    Is this a bug? should it be reported?> is it already documented somewhere in the bug reports? I cant find anything but that is probably because I am only a dumb Windows user
