Yes, it currently only looks at /etc/krb5.keytab. It probably wouldn't
be very hard to add a new command-line option to give it an alternate
one if that helps.
I do have a question here though. Why are you bothering with the
automounter at all? Why not instead just mount //oliva/users via fstab
at the point where auto.users is currently mounted?
That should give you the same effect with a much smaller mount table
and no automounter overhead. Something like this in /etc/fstab ought to
do it:
//oliva/users /path/to/top/of/users/dir cifs
sec=krb5,username=cifsuser,multiuser 0 0
