Description mandrews 2000-08-22 21:24:49 UTC 
The sun implementation of autofs converts auto_* names in the auto.master
map to auto.* map names. The autofs in redhat 6.2 made this conversion too.
While it seems a ridiculous hack, it would be nice to mantain this
compatibility.

Here is a patch to /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs that restores the old behavior:

Nalin, please apply this patch for backwards-compatibility ASAP.
Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-08-23 18:31:42 UTC 
Fixed in 3.1.4-5.  Please test the packages in
http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/, and let me know if you see any other
problems.
Comment 4 mandrews 2000-08-23 19:31:59 UTC 
The new test rpm (autofs-3.1.5-5.i386.rpm ) fixes this problem. But I noted 
that it requires the openldap package to be installed (which the old one did 
not).
Comment 5 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-08-23 20:01:27 UTC 
The openldap package only contains the shared libraries.  It has been added to
the base for Sendmail.
