Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.4+debian-2.1
Severity: normal
During the outsourcing of my current job, I've had need to mount a
couple DFS (yes, the archaic DCE/DFS combo) filesystems.
On the AIX boxen, I did this:
1) mkdir /...
2) add a direct mount to /etc/auto_master (indirect doesn't work ?!?)
3) add /... -<options> <server>:/... to /etc/auto.direct
And things just worked fine, so I thought I'd simplify my life and make
the Linux servers (already doing NFS/AFS/CIFS) able to mount the paths
as well.
So I replicated the steps 1-3 above (and indirect mounts also failed ?!?)
But when I restarted autofs, I get this little gem in the log:
automount[18849]: cache_ghost: entry in file:/etc/auto.direct not valid map
format, key /...
Now, I don't even have the -g/--ghost option turned on !
It appears that someone was trying sanity tests (disallow /. and /..),
but didn't contemplate their being anything after /.. (like another .,
or any other character)...
Clearly, the length of the key must also be taken into consideration !
