[patch] Sample auto.net provided with autofs is incorrect

Hi all;

Please see this bug I just reported against Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/111612

I believe this problem also exists in the original autofs package.
However, I can't seem to find the source anywhere; the freshmeat page
for autofs looks quite out of date and doesn't have any homepage/etc.
info, and Google searches came up empty as well.

I attach a patch below.

So, ubuntu ships with autofs version 4.1.x?  You can find the upstream
git tree here:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/autofs/autofs.git

Autofs version 5 no longer uses the auto.net script.  If you checkout
the autofs-4_1_4 branch, you'll find the auto.net script in the
samples directory.

I can't speak to your failure, however.  The auto.net script you
reference is a little different from the one upstream.  Upstream uses
sort -k 1 (no -u).

Cheers,

Jeff
