Title:
  cifs-utils 2.6.6 broken with kerberos

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in cifs-utils package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
