Description tony den haan 2004-07-25 07:27:06 UTC
man autofs says to use /etc/auto.master. 
the rc script looks for /etc/autofs/auto.master instead, and will silently fail to even start automount if it's not there.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create /etc/auto.master
2./etc/init.d/autofs start
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing 
 

Expected Results:  
issue a warning, or just find the file on the documented location

the manpage has been corrected to point to /etc/autofs/auto.master
