Patch to allow fallthrough none

Description Eric Paris 2005-03-21 16:29:50 UTC 
Description of problem:  The autofs proposed for RHEL3 U5 will not fall through
a wildcard in an indirect map looking for a more specific entry.  Entries which
appear in autofs before the wildcard will be correctly used, but the wildcard
will match everything after it, which mean later entries will never get checked.


How reproducible:   Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set up local files like

auto.master:
/home      /etc/auto.home

auto.home
working   nfs.server:/export/working/directory
*         nfs.server:/export/catchall/&
broken    nfs.server:/export/working/directory

2.  cd to /home/broken
  
Actual results:  the /home/broken tries to mount nfs.server:/export/catchall/broken


Expected results:  the /home/broken should mount
nfs.server:/export/working/directory


Additional info:  notice that the entry before the wildcard does work. 
/home/working actually does mount nfs.server:/export/working/directory.

Verified that the patch works and that's all that is needed.  The fix will be
built into the next autofs RHEL3 build.
Comment 8 Chris Feist 2005-03-31 16:01:42 UTC 
Fix is in autofs-4.1.3-112.
