I looked at the 4.1.4-33 version of /etc/init.d/autofs.
It uses autofs-ldap-auto-master to get the master map, and then calls an
automount process with each map found.
This list of automount commands is shown by "/etc/init.d/autofs status".
Can you compare this status on the two boxes (4.1.3 and 4.1.4) ?
Since you don't see requests for those maps in the LDAP server logs, those
commands are perhaps wrongly generated.
You can also add verbose and debug options in /etc/sysconfig/autofs:
DAEMONOPTIONS="--timeout=60 --verbose --debug"
Hi Francis,
Thanks for your reply and sorry it took me a while to reply.
I compared the status output from both versions and noticed that the map
type displayed by the 4.1.4 version is "yp" (NIS). It seems that it does
not recognise that these maps are distributed via LDAP.
I looked at both init.d scripts and noticed that in version 4.1.4 the
maptype cannot be set to LDAP. There is this if-else statement that
determines the map type and it always defaults to "yp". There does not
even seem to be an option for the LDAP type:
# Handle degenerate map specifiers
if [ "$maptype" = "$map" ] ; then
if [ "$map" = "hesiod" -o "$map" = "userhome" ] ; then
maptype=$map
map=
elif [ "$map" = "multi" ] ; then
maptype=$map
map=
# elif echo "$map" | grep -q '^!'; then
# map=`echo "$map"| sed -e 's/^!//g'`
elif `echo $map | grep -q "^/"` && [ -x "$map" ]; then
maptype=program
elif [ -x "/etc/$map" ]; then
maptype=program
map=`echo /etc/$map | sed 's^//^/^g'`
elif `echo $map | grep -q "^/"` && [ -f "$map" ]; then
maptype=file
elif [ -f "/etc/$map" ]; then
maptype=file
map=`echo /etc/$map | sed 's^//^/^g'`
else
maptype=yp
if [ "$UNDERSCORETODOT" = "1" ] ; then
map=`basename $map | sed -e s/^auto_/auto./`
else
map=`basename $map | sed 's^//^/^g'`
fi
fi
fi
map=`echo $map | cut -f2- -d:`
For comparison, version 4.1.3 uses "/usr/lib/autofs/nsswitch" to
determine the location of the maps, but this binary does not exist in
the newer version.
