This will be fixed in autofs-3.1.4-6 in Raw Hide (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/), which fixes these assumptions and simplifies a few other things a bit. Please reopen this bug ID if you find that upgrading doesn't solve the problem. maybe this would be resolved if there was an autofs-3.1.4-6 in RawHide but there is none... only -5 (as of Apr 7) Until Raw Hide gets an update, the same test packages will also be available at http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/. Why hasn't this package been added to the 6.2 errata ? autofs-3.1.4-4 is clearly broken. Despite the comments above, there also is no autofs-3.1.4-6 in http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/. Additionally, the autofs script does not look at /etc/nsswitch.conf, despite the fact that there is an entry for it in the distributed /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Looks like someone was thinking about it... :) As of autofs-3.1.4-4, the no-I'm-not-gonna-look-at-NIS-if-you-have-a-local-/etc/auto.master bug is not fixed, so I'm fixing both of these problems and I'm going to submit my fixes to you guys. I have to say, COME ON GUYS! This has been broken for over a year (since the release of RedHat 6.1 anyway), and it's only a 300 line shell script. Between this and breaking sort -n (the source for which comes complete with regression tests) in RH6.2, it makes me wonder why I fork over money for new releases from you guys... P.S. the expiration of bugzilla accounts is extremely annoying. The 3.1.5-4 package is the most recent test package available, currently slated for inclusion in our next release. Please test it and see if it fixes the problem. I already tried... when I try to install it, RPM gives me this message: [root@martin ddm] # rpm -Uvh autofs-3.1.5-4.i386.rpm only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM error: autofs-3.1.5-4.i386.rpm cannot be installed Besides which I've already fixed the script as I described in my earlier comments. I'm going to send the script to autofs.org and I'll CC: you as well. |
autofs script consider that names in /etc/auto.master are only file names. It does not split the names that look like foo:bar (yp, nis, ...). diff -e autofs.old autofs from my correction. 99,100c map=`echo "/etc/$map" | sed -e 's:^/etc//:/:'` if [ -x $map ]; then echo "$DAEMON $mountoptions $dir program $map $options $ localoptions" elif [ -f $map ]; then echo "$DAEMON $mountoptions $dir file $map $options $loc aloptions" else echo "$DAEMON $mountoptions $dir `basename $map` $option s $localoptions" fi fi . 94,97c echo $map |grep ':' >/dev/null if [ $? ]; then map=`echo $map| sed 's/:/ /g'` echo "$DAEMON $mountoptions $dir $map $options $localopt ions" . 85d
