The autofs script has been 'enhanced' in 6.9 to remove duplicate auto.master entries. Nice idea, however, the implementation is faulty. We have the following entries in our yp auto.master (amoung others) /users auto.users -rw,hard,intr,noquota /tools auto.project -rw,hard,intr,noquota /user auto.users -rw,hard,intr,noquota /home auto.users -rw,hard,intr,noquota /wv auto.wv -rw,hard,intr,noquota Since the code right now does a simple "`echo "$knownmaps" | grep $dir`" = "" rather than searching for duplicate entries, it searches for previous entries that contain the later string. It was real surprising to see most of the mounts appear but /user wouldn't mount. (because /users was already a mount point.)
This should already be fixed in the latest Raw Hide refresh from the build tree. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 15183 ***
Not True- Rawhide has hftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/autofs-4.0.0pre7-20.i386.rpm which is the same version I have loaded. It hasn't been fixed, unless the package number didn't roll.
As I marked in 15183, the bug was fixed in 4.0.0pre7-22. Version 3.1.5-3 in http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/ also includes the fix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 15183 ***
