Thanks for the update, Robert. Just let me know if you need assistance with the bisect, and I can build the kernels for you.

A little background information: in our setup the autofs master map /etc/auto.master contains a line: /mnt/cifs /etc/auto.cifs-shares --timeout=300 --verbose The script /etc/auto.cifs-shares contains for debugging purposes the lines: DEBUG=true $DEBUG && logger -p debug -- "$0: running 'env|grep AUTOFS':" $DEBUG && logger -p debug -- "$(env|grep AUTOFS)" and if test "$1" = "$AUTOFS_USER" ; then ## First generate automount map [..] else logger -p debug -- "$0: Error: User '$AUTOFS_USER' tried to access wrong directory '$1'" fi Which yields to the following errors in the logs: Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX root[7613]: AUTOFS_SHOST=pc203re3 AUTOFS_HOME=/root AUTOFS_GID=0 AUTOFS_UID=0 AUTOFS_GROUP=root AUTOFS_USER=root Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX root[7614]: /etc/auto.cifs-shares: Error: User 'root' tried to access wrong directory 'joe' Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX automount[7557]: lookup(program): lookup for joe failed Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX automount[7557]: failed to mount /mnt/cifs/joe So for some reason autofs with this kernel gets the environment variables wrong. Running an older Kernel like linux-image-4.4.0-36-generic does not show this problem and the cifs shares work as expected. other Info: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 uname -r 4.4.0-38-generic If you need any further info or testing, please let me know.
