From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: In our enterprise we have Boston and San Diego home directories using /u/. In Boston /u has the local homedirs and /remote/u has the remote ones. If /remote/u appears first in NIS then the grep in autofs Line 159 causes /remote/u and /u to match (the second is substring of first). The grep command should be enhanced to ...grep '\<'$dir/ to emphasize a word boundary in the pattern. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a mount point /testing/user 2. Create second mount point of /user 3. Execute /etc/init.d/autofs start and /user will not show up. 4. Make my suggested fix from Description above. 5. /etc/init.d/autofs restart and mount point works fine now. Actual Results: The problem was solved. It is simple to detect through the shell script print options, provided you have the right circumstance. This will definately effect large enterprises (like mine :) ). Expected Results: Second mount (/u) should appear naturally per out NIS auto.master entries. Additional info: This, highly specialized, bug is reproducable in RedHat 7.1 and probably beyond... The fix/workaround is relatively simple per the last line of the description above.
Indeed, this is the case. I'll queue this fix for the next FC test release (3). Thanks! Jeff
