Public bug reported:

Running with linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic autofs is not working properly
anymore: when I try to access a autofs-monitored folder as normal user
"joe" the environment variable $AUTOFS_USER inside the auto mounter map
script is set to "root" instead of the user "joe".

A little background information: in our setup the autofs master map
/etc/auto.master contains a line:

/mnt/cifs       /etc/auto.cifs-shares --timeout=300 --verbose

The script /etc/auto.cifs-shares contains for debugging purposes the
lines:

DEBUG=true
$DEBUG && logger -p debug -- "$0: running 'env|grep AUTOFS':"
$DEBUG && logger -p debug -- "$(env|grep AUTOFS)"

and

if test "$1" = "$AUTOFS_USER" ; then
        ## First generate automount map
[..]
else
        logger -p debug -- "$0: Error: User '$AUTOFS_USER' tried to access 
wrong directory '$1'"
fi


Which yields to the following errors in the logs:

Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX root[7613]: AUTOFS_SHOST=pc203re3
                                     AUTOFS_HOME=/root
                                     AUTOFS_GID=0
                                     AUTOFS_UID=0
                                     AUTOFS_GROUP=root
                                     AUTOFS_USER=root
Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX root[7614]: /etc/auto.cifs-shares: Error: User 'root' 
tried to access wrong directory 'joe'
Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX automount[7557]: lookup(program): lookup for joe failed
Sep 29 17:03:20 pcXXXXXX automount[7557]: failed to mount /mnt/cifs/joe


So for some reason autofs with this kernel gets the environment variables wrong.
Running an older Kernel like linux-image-4.4.0-36-generic does not show this 
problem and the cifs shares work as expected.
