Greetings.

I compiled autofs 4.1.4 for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9). I did found a little problem with auto.net. The original code has:

  key=$1

However, under SLES9, in my network environment, $key can be of the form "server/something[/otherthing]*", which is wrong. $key should only be a server name. I fixed the problem with:

  key=`echo $1 | perl -wp -e 's%^(\w+)(\/?.+)*$%$1%;'`

  My fix removes any path after the server name.

Exactly why automount passes a server name containg some path is unclear for me. But I wanted to report this here. If other suffer from this, you might want to consider some fix like mine (maybe using sed which is more standard).

  I have not experienced this under Fedora Core 4 (FC4).


Best regards,
Hans Deragon
