We're backing off from autofs 4 for the release because it won't be ready in time, so the issue is (sadly) moot. Am running RedHat 9 with kernel 2.4.20-20.9 and autofs 3.1.7-36 and finding that the Solaris-style /net -hosts mapping does not work. AutoFS 4 did not come with distrib and is not on RH RPMs site. Does it fix this and does anyone know where I can get a stable RPM for an i686 box? Thanks! |
autofs now supports /net mounts, which on most other systems are designated by a type of -hosts in the automount tables. It would be nice if /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs would deal with a -hosts option rather than just stripping out all -* options. The following diffs to autofs-4.0.0pre7-23 autofs fix this *** 101,106 **** --- 101,109 ---- do # These checks screen out duplicates and skip over directories # where the map is '-'. + if [ "x$map" = "x-hosts" ]; then + map=/etc/auto.net + fi if [ ! -z "$dir" -a ! -z "$map" \ -a x`echo "$map" | cut -c1` != 'x-' \ -a "`echo "$knownmaps" | grep $dir/`" = "" ] *****************
