Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 68150
Autofs Init Script Improperly Identifies Maps
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:43:56 EDT
Description of Problem: Autofs file maps are being identified as maptype=program instead of maptile=file. This prevents autofs from being able to lookup mount points. This seems like an underlying problem in the command line interpreter because the test in /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs to determine the maptype looks correct, but the result is not as expected. eg. [root@limbo root]# ls -l /etc/auto.master -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77 07-06 17:21 /etc/auto.master [root@limbo root]# if [ -x /etc/auto.master ] ; then echo file_is_executable ; fi file_is_executable Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.7-32 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Limbo 2. Try to setup a file based autofs map 3. Actual Results: Not able to mount filesystems specified in autofs map Expected Results: Able to mount filesystenms specified in autofs map. Additional Information:
I am moving this bug to bash as downgrading to the version of bash in RedHat 7.2 (2.05-8) fixed the problem. This is odd as my RedHat 7.3 machine does not have the same problem, but using the version of bash from 7.3 exhibits the same problamatic behavior.
After a fair bit of pain I was able to apply the updates from the beta channel on the RHN and this problem seems to be fixed.
Great! Marking as fixed in Raw Hide.
