Fixed In Version:	autofs-5.0.7-48
Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: The autofs configuration file has changed with the most recent changes but the RedHat customized version of this hasn't been copied during package install. Consequence: Currently the only difference between the default installed configuration is the entry which sets mount_nfs_default_protocol to 4. This can result in NFS version 4 mounts to incorrectly fail. Fix: Copy the RedHat customized configuration file into place during package install. Result: Installed configuration is as expected.

Description Ian Kent 2014-11-17 19:53:44 EST

Description of problem:

The recent update to autofs fails to overwrite the default
installed /etc/autofs.conf with its customized one.

This results in the configuration entry mount_nfs_default_protocol
not being set to 4.

This can cause mount problems in NFSv4 only environments that 
that block NFSv3 via firewall rules.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.7-47.

How reproducible:
always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rhel-7.1 autofs.
2. Check mount_nfs_default_protocol in /etc/autofs.conf.

Actual results:
mount_nfs_default_protocol is commented out in /etc/autofs.conf
leading to mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3 being the setting used.

Expected results:
mount_nfs_default_protocol = 4 present in /etc/autofs.conf.

Comment 2 XuWang 2014-11-27 05:59:34 EST

I communicated with Ian today, we should fix this bug in RHEL7.1.

Comment 4 XuWang 2014-12-19 01:23:41 EST

autofs-5.0.7-47.el7's /etc/autofs.conf
#
#mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3
#
# append_options - append to global options instead of replace.
#

autofs-5.0.7-48.el7's /etc/autofs.conf
#                              the default automatically we need to
#                              set it in our configuration.
#
#mount_nfs_default_protocol = 3
mount_nfs_default_protocol = 4

also, got this like in autofs.SPEC of autofs-5.0.7-48.el7:
install -m 644 redhat/autofs.conf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/autofs.conf

So I think the status of this problem can be verified.
