Hello all, I decided that having the /net feature of the Solaris automounter also under Linux (I'm working as a Linux Beowulf admin, so perhaps you know what I'm talking about) and built autofs-4.0.0-pre10 under RedHat 7.2. Besides a small glitch in the spec file (it is necessary to link /etc/init.d to /etc/rc.d/init.d for the install of the init script to succeed) I found out that the init script is *not* aware of what is in the automount: line of /etc/nsswitch.conf. The machine I'm testing on acts as a NIS server for a bunch of slave nodes running autofs-3, so the maps should *not* be used with autofs-4. I wrote automount: files to nsswitch.conf (no nis keyword), nevertheless the auto.master NIS map is accessed (which leads to error messages), I had to stop ypbind to use /etc/auto.master only.
Before I start my own modifications, Ii'd like to ask: Are there patches available to fix this behaviour cleanly? Or should I start a sourceforge project (Jeremy won't like that...)?
