[Bug 1157919] [NEW] mount.cifs does not set non-numeric uid

[A1an]

Public bug reported:

Using fstab to mount remote windows share with following options
//storage.server/Share/subdir /mnt/local cifs noauto,users,user,uid=SEE_BELOW,username=Win_user,workgroup=Win_group 0 0

Using uid=username
gives me user=root, group=username

Using uid=1002
works as expected giving user(=group)=username

Looks like a regression

With $ mount.cifs --version
mount.cifs version: 5.1

On
$ lsb_release -dc
