New issue 196 by joshc...@gmail.com: s3fs: could not determine how to
establish security credentials
http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/issues/detail?id=196
I'm using s3fs 1.40.
When I run "sudo s3fs [bucket] [mount_dir]", I get:
s3fs: could not determine how to establish security credentials
I do have a .passwd-s3fs file in my home dir, and it's permission 600.
It is in the "key:secret" format.
There's not much info here. Maybe you guys could add a verbose option to
help cases like these?

The following information is very important in order to help us to help

===================================================================
Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version):
Amazon Simple Storage Service File System 1.40
Version of fuse being used (pkg-config --modversion fuse):
2.8.5
System information (uname -a):
Linux #####.com 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun May 15 17:23:28 UTC 2011
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Distro (cat /etc/issue):
Fedora release 15 (Lovelock)
Kernel \r on an \m (\l)
s3fs command line used (if applicable):
sudo s3fs [bucket] [mount_dir]
(with real bucket and mount_dir)
/etc/fstab entry (if applicable):
s3fs syslog messages (grep s3fs /var/log/syslog):
(/var/log/messages, actually, has nothing related to that command)
I think I found the problem. Because I was using sudo, s3fs ended up
looking in /root instead of my home directory for the password file.
This is probably a non-issue.
