[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#584104: cifs-utils: mount.cifs ignores credentials option

[Sham Chukoury]

Package: cifs-utils
Version: 2:4.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

As of version 2:4.5-1, mount.cifs appears to ignore the presence of the
'credentials' option given in the command line:

sham at sham-desktop:/tmp$ sudo mount.cifs -o credentials=/etc/auto.smb.gibson
//gibson/sham foo
Password:

This ends up impacting on autofs as well, as smb/cifs shares are no longer
automountable.

I can confirm that downgrading cifs-utils and smbfs to the previous package
version (2:4.1-1) makes this problem go away.
