Could you add a patch of that sort so that we can override an ldap/yp auto.master and mount one or several of those mountpoints locally in /etc/fstab? --- autofs.FCS 2003-01-27 20:22:54.000000000 -0800 +++ autofs 2003-05-23 18:38:27.000000000 -0700 @@ -34,6 +34,11 @@ initdir=/etc/init.d # +# Read configuration options +# +[ -f /etc/sysconfig/autofs ] && . /etc/sysconfig/autofs + +# # Determine which kind of configuration we're using # system=unknown @@ -196,6 +201,16 @@ fi map=`echo $map | cut -f2- -d:` + # Process exclude list (to reduce number of automounts) + if [ ! -z "$AUTOFS_EXCLUDE" ]; then + for exclude in $AUTOFS_EXCLUDE + do + if [ x"$exclude" = x"$dir" ]; then + continue + fi + done + fi + : echo STARTUPOPTIONS $startupoptions : echo DIR $dir : echo MAPTYPE $maptype
Please suggest this change upstream. autofs.org is the address of the mailing list.
Ian wants this to appear in distributions first. Then, once the necessary changes for each distro are worked out, he will incorporate the change upstream.
Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/) for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the 'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been provided. If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
