From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.4) Gecko/20050318 Red Hat/1.4.4-1.3.5 Description of problem: We have our home directories mounted using a NIS map under /users. schiphol 37: ypcat -k auto.master /- auto.direct -rw /users auto.users -rw /nfs/ipatinga/isosrv auto.isosrv -ro /nfs/vm auto.vm -rw schiphol 38: ypcat -k auto.users|head chrisjoh -proto=tcp fillmore.carmen.se:/vol/vol1/users4/& elmroth -proto=tcp fillmore.carmen.se:/vol/vol1/users5/& Now if I try schiphol 39: cd /users/foo /users/foo: No such file or directory. But in /var/log/messages I get a log entry: Apr 22 10:53:38 schiphol automount[1461]: failed to mount /users/foo And of course there is no foo in auto.users. This is of course not a problem in itself, it just looks a bit weird... RHEL3 has the same behaviour. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-4.1.3-67 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /users/foo Additional info:
This message does not mean that automount tried to mount the entry. It can mean that it failed to find an entry for foo in the map.
