RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ian Kent 2019-03-06 07:04:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

autofs is unable to mount amd map entries that have macro definitions within map entry selectors.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All revisions that support amd format maps.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup an NFS server with at least one export. This example assumes a host names shadow.themaw.net.
2. Add "/amd/local	file,amd:/etc/amd.exports" to /etc/auto.master.
3. Create file /etc/amd.exports as:
/defaults       type:=auto;opts:=rw,hard,nosuid,intr,retrans=12,timeo=70
#
exports         fs:=${map};pref:=${key}/
exports/*       hostd==${/key}.themaw.net;type:=link;fs:=/ \
                hostd!=${/key}.themaw.net;type:=host;rhost:=${/key}.themaw.net;opts:=rw,hard,intr,nosuid,retrans=9,timeo=45;fs:=${autodir}/houston/${key}
4. Start autofs and try "ls /amd/local/exports/shadow".

Actual results:
An ENOENT error is returned.

Expected results:
The list of exports from the host is listed.

Additional info:
There are two problems, one the "." following a macro definition is not permitted by the parser, second the macro ${/key} is not expanded before use leading to an attempt to use an invalid host name which prevents getting the list of exports from the host.
