Hi Ian, I tried to start automount with command line like this one:
automount -f -s -v --timeout 15 master.file and it says: Starting automounter version 5.0.0_beta1, master map master.file syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] lookup_nss_read_master: can't to read name service switch config. master_read_master: can't read master map master.file Well, my mistake was that I should use fully-qualified filename ($PWD/master.file), but error message is misleading. It says that my /etc/nsswitch.conf is bad (well, it doesn't even mention "/etc/nsswitch.conf", I need to infer that!). But my /etc/nsswitch.conf has no syntax errors: passwd: compat group: compat shadow: compat hosts: files dns [!UNAVAIL=return] networks: files ethers: files protocols: files rpc: files services: files it just doesn't have automounter maps. This is not a crime. Message is also complains about /etc/nsswitch.conf FIRST, and THEN complains "can't read master map master.file", but actual order of these events is different - if master file is found, /etc/nsswitch.conf is not consulted. Can this be improved? -- vda _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
