==> Regarding [autofs] -hosts and -null enabling for autofs v4.1.x; "Gordon Lack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> adds:
gml4410> Here is a simple patch to the system autofs startup script so that gml4410> -hosts and -null is enabled in autofs 4.1.x. This patch is actually gml4410> against a RedHat autofs, but the same code is present in gml4410> samples/rc.autofs.in. gml4410> For -hosts, it just translates the map name to /etc/auto.net if gml4410> that is present and executable. That bit looks sane at first glance. gml4410> For -null, it just adds the mountpoint location to the list of gml4410> knownmaps, but doesn't do anything else. This isn't exactly right. It should "nullify" the next occurrence of the given mount point, and then go away. Consider a map like this: /home -null +auto.master /home /etc/auto.home Let's assume that +auto.master reads the master map from nis, and the nis master map defines /home to point to some nis map. The above would ignore the /home entry in the nis master, and allow us to replace it with our own. -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
