Description of problem: The xfn map type is not recognized by the autofs master map parser. When encountered a syntax error is reported instead of it being ignored. Since this entry is common in the default installed master map of other OS automount configurations this should be handled by autofs. How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. add master map entry with map type "-xfn" 2. start autofs. Actual results: Syntax error is reported and master map is not correctly read. Expected results: Master map entry is correctly read and "not supported" message issued.
