-Subject: [PATCH] mount.cifs: set rc to 0 in libcap toggle_dac_capability
-
-Thus spake Jochen:
-
-The mount.cifs program from the cifs-utils package 5.5 did not work on
-my Linux system. It just exited without an error message and did not
-mount anything.
-
-[...]
-
-I think, when this variable rc is now used in this function, it has also
-to be properly initialized there.
