Hi Matt,

As you probably know we've lost a bit of history and I'm trying to
bring my bzs up to date.

Quite a bit of work has been done since this call was logged and I
can't find anything in my email from you about this.

Could you let me know if this is still a problem with the latest
Rawhide package please.

Ian

Heard nothing back on this.
Should be resolved in current revision.

I'm reopening because I appear to be having the same problem with
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.1.

/etc/auto.master:
#
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $
#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#
/misc   /etc/auto.misc
/net    /etc/auto.net
#
# Include central master map if it can be found using
# nsswitch sources.
#
# Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as
# above) in the included master map any keys that are the
# same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes
# precedence.

This all works out of the box on FC5.

Sorry, different issue.   Opening a new bug.

autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.4 stills fails for me.  It fails parsing the NIS-provided 
auto.master map.

lookup_nss_read_master: reading master files auto.master
lookup_nss_read_master: reading master nis auto.master
lookup_init: lookup(yp): ctxt->mapname-auto.master
master_echo: -
master_error: syntax error while parsing map.
master_notify: syntax error in map near [ bogus option ]

# ypcat -k auto.master
/home auto.home --timeout 60

# ypcat -k auto.home
* -udp,hard,intr  myserver:/home/&

Note, this exact same setup has worked fine up and until FC6 devel started.  
FC5 and earlier, RHEL4 and earlier, RHLx and earlier, since RHL6.0.

Could you replace "--timeout 60" with "--timeout=60" and
see how that goes.

Ian

success with --timeout=60

However, that isn't a backwards-compatible change.  A quick check of a SLES9 
system with autofs-3.1.7 notes that this change causes autofs to fail exactly 
because the equals sign *is* there.  The parsing needs to deal with it present 
or not (e.g. getopt style).

OK.

Sory for the misunderstanding but I didn't mean to imply that
I wouldn't change this by asking you to check it.

That question was the next step in the investigation and
you've answered it.

I'll amend the parser and post a patch for testing.

Ian

Created attachment 137904 [details]
Patch to include syntax "--timeout <secs>" as valid for backward compatibility with autofsv3 and v4

Can you give this patch a test please.
It works for me.

This patch works for me too.  Thanks much!  Closing.
