Description Lev Ufimtsev 2017-07-31 15:22:21 UTC
Description of problem:
- Continuation of issue reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560124

- When you do a 'man -k autofs', then "man 8 auto.master" is not listed. However, auto.master is a very important man page for autofs.

Current summary is:
auto.master (5)      - Master Map for automounter

Proposed (something like:
auto.master (5)      - Master Map for automounter consulted by autofs


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- RHEL 7.3, Fedora 26

How reproducible:
- "man -k autofs"


Actual results:
auto.master not listed

Expected results:
auto.master listed in results


Additional info:
- I observed this while taking the RHCSA course. Other canidates also had difficulties finding this man page.

This is definitely too late for 7.4.

Upstream patch, will need minor changes for RHEL.

Yes, I have done this with the above patch plus a couple
of other things.

I will be releasing autofs-5.1.4 fairly soon, it will
include this change. And I plan on upgrading the supported
Fedora releases when I do the upstream release.

Comment 8 xiaoli feng 2017-10-10 08:38:05 UTC
Hello Ian,

  The config file /etc/sysconfig/autofs isn't also shown in "man -k autofs". Is it expected?

I would say so as /etc/sysconfig/autofs isn't the configuration
file any more, it's now /etc/autofs.conf.

While the format looks a bit different to what is used in
/etc/sysconfig/autofs anything in their for equivalent config.
settings will override what is in /etc/autofs.conf for backward
compatibility.

But we should always be referring to /etc/autofs.conf as "the"
autofs configuration file now.
