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?

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.
