Description of problem: Updating autofs causes auto mounting to fail, which is apparently related to a particular line in /etc/auto.master. If I comment out that line, the error goes away. If I revert autofs to the previous revision (autofs-5.0.5-18.fc12.x86_64), the error goes away. NIS seems to be functioning normally, I can manually mount the directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-5.0.5-22.fc12 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.add line to /etc/auto.master: /u yp:lnxhomedirs nodev,bg 2.restart autofs 3. Actual results: In /var/log/messages: automount[24698]: syntax error in map near [ /u ] Expected results: /u will be mounted based on ypbind map Additional info:
Same here. I'd raise the severity if I could (although there is a quick workaround). The problem is that the lexer file recognizes your line as the following sequence: PATH DNSERVER DNNAME OPTION COMMA OPTION while it should be: PATH MAPTYPE COLON MAPNAME OPTION COMMA OPTION (see forthcoming attachment) Quick fix for you (and me): replace yp by e.g. yp,sun ; this will prevent the wrong dn match. Alternatively, you may put a space after the column. Fix for autofs: I don't know / don't wanna know.
Created attachment 401871 [details] standalone tokenizer extracted from autofs-5.0.5-22.fc12 This illustrates the problem. It's a trimmed down and bastardized version of master_tok.l and just prints the token list: /tmp $ flex a.l /tmp $ gcc lex.yy.c -lfl /tmp $ ./a.out /etc/auto.master (prints the tokens)

It's not specific enough. I was afraid I'd get caught with something like this, but I didn't see any problems when I tested it. I obviously didn't check this. snip ... > > Quick fix for you (and me): > > replace yp by e.g. yp,sun ; this will prevent the wrong dn match. > Alternatively, you may put a space after the column. Yep, that should work, or you can use nsswitch to tell autofs what map sources you are using and leave out the "yp:" altogether. Although you can get caught when a map is present in multiple sources, such as when you have "automount: files nis" in nsswitch.conf and your map exists in /etc and in NIS. In this case the file map would (well should) be used instead of NIS. > > Fix for autofs: I don't know / don't wanna know. Hahaha, yeah, working on it.
Created attachment 401915 [details] Patch - add locality as valid ldap master map attribute fix I believe this fixes the problem. While it's unfortunate you have been inconvenienced by this it looks like the bug has been present for some time and the locality change just exposed it.
