winbind is not a valid automount map source.
Remove it.

Comment 2 Kostyantyn Shchekotykhin 2006-09-01 14:01:00 UTC
Thanks, it starts now.  It was in the default version of nsswitch.conf. Maybe
developers can remove winbind from default configuration?
Now It doesn't mounts anything, but this is the other problem...

Yes and that message needs to be clearer.

It must be one of the samba packages that does that. I'll
check and see what I can find out.

Comment 4 Kostyantyn Shchekotykhin 2006-09-05 10:45:43 UTC
I have tested a bit and discovered that automounting doesn't work only if
winbind authentificated user is logged in. All local users can use results of
autofs.

Any suggestions?

Nalin, see comment #4.  Does that make any sense to you?

I've checked the Samba packages and as far as I can see
the nsswitch.conf is not modified by their install.
nsswitch.conf must have changed manually at some point.

Sorry this bug has slipped through the cracks but I think
it was resolved some time ago.

The "winbind" source in nsswitch.conf has been ignored
by autofs since revision 0.rc3.6. Can you check if this
is still a problem please.

Ian


Comment 8 Matthew Miller 2007-04-06 19:45:54 UTC
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer
test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug
reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if
you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest
development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience.

[This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding
myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this
and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them.

you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting
the change.

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2008-05-06 16:17:09 UTC
This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
