Description Simon Murray 2007-04-27 15:45:13 UTC 
Incorrect (?) parameters passed to automount from the autofs init script for ldap mounts

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
altered /etc/nsswitch.conf so that:
  automount: files ldap

"/etc/init.d/autofs start" fails to work for any auto.master ldap mounts



strace reveals automount is being invoked in /etc/init.d/autofs with
$maptype=yp
$map=ldap

adding a new case into the big if statement in "function getmounts()" such that we avoid the default...

...
elif [ "$map" = "ldap" ]; then
  maptype=$map
  map=
else
...

works like a charm

Roy, if this is not your bug please reassign it to the maintainer you think it should be assigned to.

metadata says it's Robins :)
Comment 3 Stefaan De Roeck (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-03 11:40:11 UTC 
New maintainer, net-fs/autofs-5.0.3-r1 is now in the tree.
Comment 4 Stefaan De Roeck (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-05 12:16:31 UTC 
I suppose this is probably fixed in autofs-5 (because the init script has been replaced).  Could you please test that and provide feedback?  Thanks

No feedback in well over a month, closing bug.
