No. The MultiuserMount code that the above switch activates is
basically deprecated (and never worked very well in the first place).
The correct way to do this is to use sec=krb5 and mount with '-o
multiuser'. Then, make sure all users accessing the mount have a TGT.

If you're using unix extensions (generally meaning that the remote
server is samba-based), then having unity-mapped uids is helpful.
