Since last kernel upgrade from 4.4.0-36 to 4.4.0-38 automount failed to mount
remote smb FS.
The configuration file use $USER, $UID and $GID variables :
i.e. :
music
-fstype=cifs,credentials=/home/$USER/.creds-file,user=$USER,uid=$UID,gid=$GID
://192.168.1.9/music
When a user account try to mount the FS, automount complain :
>> error 2 (No such file or directory) opening credential file
/home/root/.creds-file
$USER, $UID and $GID are now sets with root variables instead of user
account variables
