Currently autofs falls back to reading it's own configuration files, if the parser did not find automount stanza. The problem is that the current autofs' parser fails on the default nsswitch.conf See: lib/nss_parse.y Options are: 1) change default nsswitch.conf (not gonna happen see comment #18, see comment #20 for history which, well, mattered in the past) 2) remove autofs nsswitch.conf parser (not ideal, breaks compatibility with other distros history see comment #20) 3) fix autofs nsswitch.conf parser 4) make autofs use something that knows how to parse nsswitch.conf properly I personally would prefer solution #3 and send the patch to debian upstream.

[Bug 488696] Re: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]
Steve's comment #18 is not correct. Automount was first created in the late 1980's, and when Sun released the first version of name service switch in the early 1990's, it was already being used to manage automount maps. Automount maps have been considered a standard, basic name service ever since, on every version of UNIX that has ever implemented nsswitch.conf. I think that it's a great idea that autofs be enhanced so that if there's no entry in nsswitch.conf, autofs will not fail but will instead assume files. However, the bug against base-files is NOT invalid. Automount entries DO belong in nsswitch.conf and the standard value is automount: files nis and this should be preserved in Ubuntu. I agree that _ideally_ someone would modify libc to support /etc/nsswitch.d and individual packages (like autofs) could add their own files there containing name service switch configuration. However, until that day comes please add back the automount entry to nsswitch.conf in base-files. The fact that it's not there is a legitimate bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488696 Title: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/488696/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

This information does not belong in /etc/nsswitch.conf. nsswitch.conf is a configuration file for libc, for selecting between NSS modules; autofs should not be relying on being able to stick its own configuration settings in this file. And base-files should not be adding such non-standard config settings. Marking as invalid for base- files. A proper autofs fix is to move this configuration information out of /etc/nsswitch.conf entirely, so that its parser stops tripping over perfectly valid libc configurations. ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488696 Title: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/488696/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Hmm. I ran into more issues with autofs. Not sure when they actually started, I only noticed them today. After some poking around I figured out that: 1. The map auto.master: Local domain name not set error occurs when I include +auto.master in /etc/auto.master. I also found out that this entry in /etc/auto.master is not required (at least on my installation). 2. For some bizarre reason, the way I had my autofs map files set up didn't work anymore without specifically adding .local to the server identification.

Why is that a year after the fix was released (adding the nnswitch.conf line works for me on Ubuntu Server 10.10), there is no updated package with the fix for Ubuntu 10.10? 11.04 does not appear to need the fix, despite that line being added.

[Bug 488696] Re: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]
Even after adding the line to /etc/nsswitch.conf, you still need to ensure that /etc/auto.master has... +auto.master ...before it will look to NIS. Is this intended behavior? Seems to be redundant if /etc/nsswitch.conf is already specifying that it needs to look to NIS for the auto.master map. -- syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
