Description Jeff Moyer 2007-05-23 14:57:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
Currently, in order to enable debugging for the autofs daemon, one has to
restart the daemon.  Unfotunately, when experiencing transient problems, this
often makes the problematic behaviour go away.  It would be better if the daemon
supported a mechanism to enable debugging at run-time.

Add a daemon option to set the log priority at run-time.
Comment 2 Jeff Moyer 2007-09-11 21:19:35 UTC 
I just added an RHTS test for this functionality under
/CoreOS/autofs/bugzillas/bz240973.

Updated version of the patch to enable switching log priorities at run-time.

This patch works with multiple automount processes.  It also adds documentation
of the new command-line parameter.
