Description of problem: automount maps with localhost entries, ie: logs localhost:/u0/logs ...fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Create a localhost autofs entry in solaris syntax ( Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Solaris syntax localhost mounts fail. Expected results: compatibility with Solaris's syntax ("localhost:/u0/logs", rather than ":/u0/logs" as autofs5 expects) Additional info: Back in autofs4, this was described in the following thread with Ian Kent: http:/ /linux.kernel.org/pipermail/autofs/2004-May/001131.html ...and was resolved in the 4.1.3.-4 package at: http://people.r edhat.com/~jmoyer/autofs/fc2/4.1.3-4/ ---From Ian Kent: Yes, there was a bug in with this in version 5 which, Jeff and I resolved, but we didn't know about it before GA cutoff so the fix is not in the GA release. However, this needs to work and we do have a fix for it so a bug report would be really useful. Ian
It appears that you are using revision 0.rc2.15. Could you please update to the latest revision, 0.rc2.43.0.2, and confirm that the problem is still present. The description in the pipermail thread above no longer applies as the code concerned has been completely changed in version 5. Thanks Ian
Customer is requesting a hotfix for this for RHEL 5. Can we move this along any?
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.

Ian -- I don't know if it had been communicated already, but 5.0.1-0.rc2.43.0.2 still exhibits this bug.
(In reply to comment #9) > Ian -- I don't know if it had been communicated already, but 5.0.1-0.rc2.43.0.2 > still exhibits this bug. Yes, it has escaped me, I'll have to check what I need to do to make the hot fix happen, sorry.
Setting to MODIFIED as the fix is committed and built.

Just pushed out the hotfix packages today which did the trick. Thanks, Ian and Neil.

Where can the hotfix be obtained?
Is there any progress on this. I'm trying to avoid calling the bug into redhat as a paying customer (which I am) because I'm just going to have to refer them to an already opened ticket.
actually, this is fixed in autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55, actually in .44 but no advisory was put out and the release in the main channel jumped from 43 to 55 so nobody would know how to get that patch. Someone should mark this as resolved I would think.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
