Apparently it does -- this is the very end of default /etc/auto.master file: # Include central master map if it can be found using # nsswitch sources. # # Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as # above) in the included master map any keys that are the # same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes # precedence. # +auto.master When I put a map into "automount" line in nsswitch.conf which does not exist, it logs the following line into daemon.log: automount[1519]: ignored unsupported autofs nsswitch source "xyz" the same happens with ldap if it is in that line and there's no /usr/lib/autofs/lookup_ldap.so file found.

Does it use "nsswitch.conf"? It is configured the same way as ldap: using nsswitch.conf. All maps also can be used directly as well, by specifying map-type properly in /etc/auto.master. >> So...

So the only question remains: do you have other users of automount entry in nsswitch.conf except of autofs package itself (where it has other mechanism too) ? I'm about to mark this bug as a wishlist wontfix really... ;) Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
