RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023.

Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit).

Description of problem:

The recent update to autofs fails to overwrite the default
installed /etc/autofs.conf with its customized one.

This results in the configuration entry mount_nfs_default_protocol
not being set to 4.

This can cause mount problems in NFSv4 only environments that 
that block NFSv3 via firewall rules.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.7-47.

How reproducible:
always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rhel-7.1 autofs.
2. Check mount_nfs_default_protocol in /etc/autofs.conf.

Actual results:
mount_nfs_default_protocol is commented out in /etc/autofs.conf
leading to mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3 being the setting used.

Expected results:
mount_nfs_default_protocol = 4 present in /etc/autofs.conf.

I communicated with Ian today, we should fix this bug in RHEL7.1.

autofs-5.0.7-47.el7's /etc/autofs.conf
#
#mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3
#
# append_options - append to global options instead of replace.
#

autofs-5.0.7-48.el7's /etc/autofs.conf
#                              the default automatically we need to
#                              set it in our configuration.
#
#mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3
mount_nfs_default_protocol = 4

also, got this like in autofs.SPEC of autofs-5.0.7-48.el7:
install -m 644 redhat/autofs.conf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/autofs.conf

So I think the status of this problem can be verified.
