I've not understood the relationship between my patch and your comment well yet.
Could you give me a concrete example?
I'm not convinced that I understood your comment. But I guess you suggest
inconsistent evaluation of following autom.master:
$ cd /etc; cat auto.master
+file:/etc/autofs.d/auto.foo
+dir:/etc/autofs.d
In this case auto.foo will be read as a file type master source twice:
once via +file line of auto.master and once via +dir line of auto.master.
Is my guessing correct?
(In my patch `dir' type is not added to `nss_source' of autofs/lib/nss_parse.y.)
In addition I have a question about autofs (without my patch).
Consider following auto.master with no nsswitch setting:
$ cd /etc; cat auto.master
+file:/etc/auto.bar
+auto.bar
In this case my understanding is that /etc/auto.bar will be read twice as a
file type source. Is my understanding right?
