Description of problem: The autofs init script screws up in the presence of ldap maps: [root@fogarty plugins]# /etc/init.d/autofs.rpmnew status Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount /misc file /etc/auto.misc /usr/sbin/automount /home yp auto.home This is because /usr/lib/autofs/autofs-ldap-auto-master does not returns: <mount point> <map name> rather than: <mount point> <type>:<map name> And hence the autofs init script then attempts to guess the map type in getmounts() where it says "# Handle degenerate map specifiers". A quick fix is to make the getldapmounts() function prepend "ldap:" to the mapname. See attached diff. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit nsswitch.conf to include ldap as source for automount 2. configure LDAP automount maps 3. run the init script, eg with status argument Actual results: init script incorrectly attempts to guess the map type. Expected results: init script detects ldap maps. Additional info: See attached diff to /etc/init.d/autofs which fixes the problem.
Created attachment 97077 [details] Fix for autofs init script LDAP problem This makes getldapmounts() prepend the maptype "ldap:" to the mapname and hence allows getmounts to correctly work with ldap maps.
Actually, this is i think not a bug. The error was in my ldap information, I had specified the maps simply by name, where i should have specified <maptype>:<name>. Attempting to set resolved/notabug on this bug report. Please close if i do not privileges to close it myself.
