We are using Fedora 26 with the 4.13.9 kernel and NIS, and I'm aware of the issue where the default CIFS/Samba version is now 3.0. However we use an older Drobo FS which their support says only works with SMB version 1.0. We do not put the Drobo in /etc/fstab as it will fail on boot some times so we use autofs/automount. We have a cron job that runs and should be calling /etc/auto.cifs and note the contents of the config files below. I added vers=1.0 every where I could think of. The below results of the ypcat -k command shows the option does not appear to be passed to the mount command. Am I missing a config file some where? I've grepped all of /etc to find all occurrences of mount or CIFS but nothing except comments come back. Perhaps I'm missing something that isn't obvious to me but might be for someone reading this...

cat /etc/auto.cifs 
#!/bin/bash
# Automount config file for drobo network storage device
#
# This file must be executable to work! chmod 755!

key="$1"
# Note: create a cred file for each windows/Samba-Server in your network
# which requires password authentification. The file should contain
# exactly two lines:
# username=user
# password=*****
# Please don't use blank spaces to separate the equal sign from the
# user account name or password.
credfile="/etc/auto.smb.$key"
# Note: Use cifs instead of smbfs:
mountopts="-fstype=cifs,vers=1.0,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700,uid=root,gid=root,wsize=8192"
smbclientopts="-m SMB1"
for P in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
do
 if [ -x $P/smbclient ]
 then
 SMBCLIENT=$P/smbclient
 break
 fi
done
[ -x $SMBCLIENT ] || exit 1
if [ -e "$credfile" ]
then
 mountopts=$mountopts"vers=1.0,credentials=$credfile"
 smbclientopts="-A "$credfile
else
 smbclientopts="-N"
fi
$SMBCLIENT $smbclientopts -gL $key 2>>/var/log/autofs.log 
 | awk -v key="$key" -v opts="$mountopts" -F'|' -- '
 BEGIN ORS=""; first=1 
 /Disk/ if (first) print opts; first=0 ;
 gsub(/ /, "\ ", $2);
 sub(/$/, "\$", $2);
 print " \nt /" $2, "://" key "/" $2 
 END if (!first) print "n"; else exit 1 
 '

And here's:

cat /etc/auto.smb
#!/bin/bash

# This file must be executable to work! chmod 755!

# Automagically mount CIFS shares in the network, similar to
# what autofs -hosts does for NFS.

# Put a line like the following in /etc/auto.master:
# /cifs /etc/auto.smb --timeout=300
# You'll be able to access Windows and Samba shares in your network
# under /cifs/host.domain/share

# "smbclient -L" is used to obtain a list of shares from the given host.
# In some environments, this requires valid credentials.

# This script knows 2 methods to obtain credentials:
# 1) if a credentials file (see mount.cifs(8)) is present
# under /etc/creds/$key, use it.
# 2) Otherwise, try to find a usable kerberos credentials cache
# for the uid of the user that was first to trigger the mount
# and use that.
# If both methods fail, the script will try to obtain the list
# of shares anonymously.

Here are some debug autofs logs:

I found where to add the vers=1.0 option. On the primary NIS server we have a couple files for both Drobo units for each campus:

cat /etc/auto.drobo-uptown

drobo-downtown -fstype=cifs,vers=1.0,rw,user,suid,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.drobo-uptown ://drobo-uptown/drobo-downtown

But the other thing that escaped me was I had to run make -C /var/yp after making a change to the above file, and then the other workstations/servers in the NIS domain starting seeing the change.

Also a change was made in cifs-utils to documentation, and a small bugfix in setcifsacl.
