<pre>> YES, i know ff 67.0 is not ESR. But, inevitably these changes will come down the pike, and i'm having a bit of trouble finding useful info.

I use autofs automounter also, but the resolved-realpath changes for every release, and so the code is going to "help me out" by generating a spankin' new Profile for all my users all the time. That's entirely untenable. I've updated bug:
