From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040623 Description of problem: An option STRIPDASH was added to /etc/sysconfig/autofs to strip the leading dash from mount options before starting the daemon. This was needed with autofs 3, but the v4 daemon is smart enough to work with or without the dash on mount options. It can be removed from /etc/sysconfig/autofs now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-4.1.3-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/autofs 2. Delete STRIPDASH=0 option Additional info:
This should be fixed in 4.1.3-12, which will ship with U3.
Indeed this was fixed in U3, autofs-4.1.3-12.
