Description of problem:

autofs init script fails when nsswitch is called

yp_order function call in nsswitch is not working in our environment where yp 
is bound to NIS+ server running in compat mode.
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0214/6m6nf1pbg?a=view)

i have created a patch and it looks working fine anyway.
( still got the same error message when yp_order is called :( )

yp_master function is called right after yp_order call fails to check yp map 
is available under the mentioned situation.

i'm not sure whether yp_order call itself can be replaced with yp_master call 
or not but it seems possible.

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


How reproducible:
always when yp is bound to NIS+ server running in compatibility mode

Steps to Reproduce:
1. #/usr/lib64/autofs/nsswitch auto_master
  
Actual results:
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable


Expected results:
yp:auto_master

Additional info:
following patch is created after rpmbuild -bp autofs.spec

Thanks for the problem report and the patch.  You've got a bug in that patch,
though.  yp_master expects a char **, true, but it fills that in via strdup. 
So, you really want something like:

char *hostname;

if ((err = yp_master(domainname, loc, &hostname) == YPERR_SUCCESSS) {
        free(hostname);
        return 1;
}

I'll fix this up and queue it.  The way it's written, it is pretty safe to
include, I think.  This is a regression from previous versions of autofs, right?

It's strange that yp_order isn't supported by your nisplus implementation.  Be
sure to file a bug there, too!

thanks for the additional work ! :)

i'm afraid that they are not going to fix this because they've already 
specified "This function is not supported if the ypbind process on the 
client's system is bound to an NIS+ server running in "YP-compatibility 
mode.""(quoted from the link) and that is exactly what our configuration is :(

Adding keyword regression.
