Description of problem:
not sure if this was intended or not, it sure was unexpected.

When I did a 'yum update' that brought autofs up to 4.1.4-15 from whatever was the version before on FC4, my /etc/auto.master got changed.

No /etc/auto.master.rpmnew, nor .rpmold was created on any of the 3 affected systems

No biggie, but it might annoy some of our users

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-4.1.4-15

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Have FC4
1. have a /etc/auto.master that contains an active line with "/misc   /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60"
2. yum update (brought autofs up to 4.1.4-15 on 2006-01-20)
3. try using /misc/banana some time later with a script that must have the device mounted ro (the only reason I even use autofs with USB sticks)
  

Actual Results:  script nags, No such file or directory.

Expected Results:  autofs not to change auto.master

Additional info:

obviously the fix is quick and straightforward, but it affects quite a few of my machines.

BTW: If you wonder what I do in that script:
  a) umount USB stick that was mounted automagically
  b) access it over autofs (entry contains 'ro' option')
  c) ssh-add some ssh key from that stick

As the stick is fat-formatted, I cannot chmod 600 the ssh pubkey, and without mounting the stick ro ssh-add will (quite rightly) refuse to add the key, plus I can just rip out the stick without worrying about the filesystem on it.
