Description of problem:
Autofs init script ignores information in /etc/auto.master when a
mountpoint is duplicated in LDAP and in the file.  Previously LDAP
automount information could be used network wide and /etc/auto.master
could be used to override LDAP autofs information on a host by host basis.

I have automount information stored in LDAP for every host on the
network to use.  But on a given host we don't want it to automount
its own exports.  A solution using /etc/auto.master worked on fedora
core 1, but no longer works in fedora core 2.  I have narrowed the
problem down the init script for autofs. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-4.1.2-2 (also broken in autofs-4.1.2-6)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here is the exact setup I have from the prespective of a host named
snowcrash:

/etc/nsswitch.conf contains:
    automount:  files ldap

There exists a directory /v where all the automount mountpoints are
mounted.  
    bash-2.05b$ ls -la /v
    drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    0 May 28 19:56 quicksilver
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   12 May 28 16:41 snowcrash -> /d0/exports/

On quicksilver, snowcrash would be a directory and quicksilver
would be a symlink to /d0/exports

There exist LDAP automount information for quicksilver and snowcrash

    # auto.snowcrash, basedn
    dn: ou=auto.snowcrash,o=basedn
    objectClass: automountMap
    ou: auto.snowcrash

    # /v/snowcrash, auto.master, basedn
    dn: cn=/v/snowcrash,ou=auto.master,o=basedn
    objectClass: automount
    cn: /v/snowcrash
    automountInformation: ldap:localhost:ou=auto.snowcrash,o=basedn
--timeout 60

    # home, auto.snowcrash, basedn
    dn: cn=home,ou=auto.snowcrash,o=basedn
    objectClass: automount
    automountInformation: snowcrash:/d0/exports/home
    cn: home

Similar entries for quicksilver's mountpoints.

Then /etc/auto.master on snowcrash contains the following one line:
    /v/snowcrash -null

Similarly on quicksilver /etc/auto.master contains
    /v/quicksilver -null

Previously in fedora core 1 this line in each host's /etc/auto.master
would instruct autofs to ignore the ldap automount information for
that hosts exports.


Actual Results:  
With fedora core 2, autofs acts as if /etc/auto.master was 
empty!  This causes issues when /d0/exports attempts to mount on top
of itself, hiding all the information in /d0/exports, and rendering
/v/snowcrash useless.

Expected Results:  auto.master should override the /v/snowcrash ldap
automount information,
causing autofs to never attempt to automount /v/snowcrash.

Additional info:

My current solution is to overwrite /etc/init.d/autofs with the 
old fedora core 1 version of that init script.  So the problem is
definately with the fedora core 2 /etc/init.d/autofs init script.
