Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi.
In startup script, there is a wrong logic of a new variable
UNDERSCORETODOT testing. It should be testing setting it to "1" and not
to "0". Because it misses the case, when the variable is not set at all,
which is the Debian case (see /etc/init.d/autofs and look for
UNDERSCORETODOT string).
Due to this bug, auto_home from NIS is renamed to auto.home, and it cannot
be obviously found, and /home is not mounted, which makes this bug
important - for NIS users.
Patch is included.
This should be propagated to upstream too.
Regards,
Lada Dobias
