I am running Mdk 9.1. and recently I tried to install auto_fs to have
automounting of my cdrom and floppy. I used the following auto.master
/vol /etc/auto.vol --timeout=3
and the following auto.vol to configure the /vol directory
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,uni_xlate=1,codepage=850,umask=0,nosuid,nodev
:/dev/cdrom
floppy -fstype=vfat,uni_xlate=1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0,nosuid,nodev
:/dev/fd0
After installing the automounting, my login (both terminal and KDE)
hanged when logging in as an ordinary user. Tracing the pam output it
turned out that it was hanging when pam_console is changing the
permissions of console devices.
I am normally using devfsd (since that is standard). If I disabled it
the login would go through. Also, if I run it in debug mode (where it
according to the output does not do anything) it would also go
through: it would get and successfully process the requests (but not
do anything physically). So somehow it appears to be a compatibility
issue between devfsd and auto_fs.
Does anybody know what is causing this? Anybody who has a working
installation with devfsd and auto_fs?
Thanks
