I don't think this is a duplicate bug, or rather, I am not affected by this one and am by #1626749. On my side, replacing $USER by my username works. I have 2 identical lines in autofs, one with credentials=/home/$USER/.credentials (fails as it looks for /home/root/.credentials), one with credentials=/home/myusername/.credentials (works just fine for me). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628586 Title: using version 4.4.0-38-generic, x86_64 on MacMini Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Confirmation of bug #1626749 regarding $USER token substitution problem in autofs. Even when the $USER token was replaced with a valid username for the share, autofs was unable to mount shares using certificates, nor could sshfs. These programs reverted to password authentication instead. The reason for mounting with certificates instead of passwords is security, of course.
