Hi folks,
this is my first post to this list. I must admit that I haven't read
any mails yet, and that I'm not particulary interested in developing
autofs further. I just want it to work. :)
Anyway here is my problem:
I was using autofs-3.1.4 from Redhat's rpms and had trouble automounting
any directories using nisplus-maps. The same behavior occured, when I
was using up-to-date nis-utils-1.3 and autofs-3.1.7. I filed a bug
report at Redhat's bugzilla (BUG #21517, see
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21517), but they
wouldn't help me there, so I looked at the source of Thorsten Kukuk's
nismatch and found a solution.
The statement
sprintf (tablename, "[key=%s],%s.org_dir.%s", name, ctxt->mapname,
ctxt->domainname);
in modules/lookup_nisplus.c seems to be wrong. Thorsten uses some
nisplus-call to find out what to put instead of "key". This happens to
be "mountpoint", and when I substitute mountpoint for key, autofs works
just fine with nisplus-maps. Now, I don't know much about NIS+, so I
can't tell, whether this is the real sollution, or if more has to be
done. It works for me, though.
Here's the patch:

Hopes that helps a little.
