Title:
  [s390x] DEP8 authenticated smb test failure

Status in autofs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The DEP8 authenticated cifs test is currently failing. The reason is
  an incorrect (but that seemed to work previously) smb user creation:

      echo "${password}\n${password}" | smbpasswd -s -a ${username}

  This is missing an "-e" at least, so that \n is correctly interpreted:

      echo -e "${password}\n${password}" | smbpasswd -s -a ${username}

  I'm at a loss to explain why only s390x was/is affected. In fact, I
  reproduced the test failure in a plain amd64 VM.

  I also don't understand why in the failed s390x logs the smb user was
  created, apparently:

  Setting samba password for the smbtest2765 user
  + echo Setting samba password for the smbtest2765 user
  + smbpasswd -s -a smbtest2765
  + echo 2765\n2765
  Added user smbtest2765.

  When I reproduced it in both a s390x vm, and amd64, I got:
  + echo 'Setting samba password for the smbtest24990 user'
  Setting samba password for the smbtest24990 user
  + smbpasswd -s -a smbtest24990
  + echo '24990\n24990'
  Unable to get new password.

  Anyway, the bug seems obvious, and also affects the samba DEP8 tests
  (which, also for unknown reasons, haven't failed (yet?)).
