Description of problem: It is common to have a master map which solely references a YP map, as follows: auto.master: +auto.master The current included map support precludes the use of such maps, as it falsely detects this as a recursive map inclusion. (Well, it actually works for auto.master, but not for any other map). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-4.1.3-182 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Setup a master map: /etc/auto.master: /misc /etc/auto.misc Setup auto.misc: /etc/auto.misc: +auto.misc /etc/nsswitch.conf: automount: files nis /etc/sysconfig/autofs: ONE_AUTO_MASTER=1 DAEMON_OPTIONS="--ghost" # service autofs start The automounter will fail to load the nis map. If everything works properly, the automounter would create a /misc directory, and you would see a list of directories from the yp map auto.misc. (to obtain the map contents of auto.misc, simply do a 'ypcat -k auto.misc').
