Hi!
I am rather baffled! I am using Slackware 8.1/9.0 and have been setting up autofs with
the --timeout option.
The syntax for the automount command should be:
automount --timeout 60 /mnt/whatever file /etc/auto.whatever
The /etc/auto.master file would contain the line:
/mnt/whatever /etc/auto.whatever --timeout 60
(according to any documentation that I can find).
However, the startup script grabbed from Slackware - it is, as far as I can see, just
a pared down version of the "standard" one for init.d systems - will not put the
timeout option in the correct place. Options just get the "-" lopped off and are then
stuck on the end of the line, as if they were options for mounting.
In itself this is no problem, I can write my own script. But what puzzles me is that
this doesn't cause problems for lots of people. Are there different versions of things
floating about with different properties?
Greetings,
Michael Towers
