[Bug 1671445] [NEW] cifs-utils 2.6.6 broken with kerberos

[Marcel]

Public bug reported:

Current alpha2 of Ubuntu 17.04 ships with version 6.6 of cifs-utils.

This version is buggy, when used with kerberos authentication.

This has also been confirmed by the samba team:

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2017-March/119036.html

According to this post, the bug should be fixed with version 6.7
of cifs-utils.

Please upgrade/fix package for final release of Ubuntu 17.04.

More details:
Version 6.6 does only use
    /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>
style credential caches. Ubuntu however create
    /tmp/krb5cc_<uid>_<random>
filenames.

Kerberos based cifs mounts do fail because of this.

** Affects: cifs-utils (Ubuntu)
