To add a comment here. . .  The extra cn is for the benefit for Solaris
that requires the percent sign to qualify for the capital letter in the
string.  We will have to contend with the same issue as we move toward
autofs version 5.

Subject: [autofs] autofs5 duplicate entries

hi everyone,

i seem to have a problem with autofs+ldap on duplicate entries. i
migrated from autofs4 settings over to autofs5 quite successfully and in
general everything seems to work fine. ill give u a working and
nonworking example.


auto.master contains:
/share  ldap:nisMapName=auto_packages,ou=ivv5,dc=de -nosuid

ldap queries on the path to automount give me:

ldapsearch -x -LLL cn=java

working:
objectClass: nisObject
objectClass: top
cn: Java
nisMapEntry: ...
nisMapName: auto_package...

like the above, the autofs5 mounts with no problem.

but this one, not working:
objectClass: nisObject
objectClass: top
cn: Java
cn: %Java
nisMapEntry: ...
nisMapName: auto_package...

gives in /var/log/messages a

Jul 25 14:22:45 SEMTEX automount[4872]: attempting to mount entry
/share/java Jul 25 14:22:45 SEMTEX automount[4872]: lookup_one:
lookup(ldap): key Java has duplicate entries Jul 25 14:22:45 SEMTEX
automount[4872]: failed to mount /share/java

As I believe, there seems to be a Problem with cn:Java and cn:%Java
somehow. As I understand the % seems to be there to enable both
upper-and lowercase typing (java, Java) when entering the Path on the
commandline (cd /share/Java, /share/java). Anyhow. in autofs4 this didnt
seem to be a problem.

Any help would be appreciated.
