Sample auto.net provided with autofs is incorrect

Hi all; I sent this on May 1 but I haven't seen it come through yet?


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for autofs looks quite out of date and doesn't have any homepage/etc.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.

Doesn't Ububtu record release version and package version against bugs?
What is the version of autofs in Ubuntu?

Hm I don't know why that's not there.

Anyway, the version of autofs in my Ubuntu (7.04) is:

ii  autofs         4.1.4-13build1     kernel-based automounter for Linux

I just checked the 5.0.1 version (weird, I couldn't find it for anything
the first time I looked!) and although auto.net has changed slightly,
this problem still exists.  On my system where showmount for one of my
servers contains multiple entries for different hosts for the same
partition, the output generated by auto.net has multiple entries for the
same host.

Yes, but if you use 5.0.1 (and I recommend all the patches on kernel.org
as well) then use the "-hosts" map instead, it shouldn't have this
problem. Beware that, being new, it has been changed a number of times,
the latest change being to drop the exports access control checking.
This was the subject of a number of difficulties but in the end it was
disabled because there isn't any way to make it work behind a NAT
interface (oops and so obvious).

If you need to continue using version 4 then you'll need to persuade
your platform support people to add a patch to resolve the issue. There
will be a 4.1.5 at some point in the future but my focus is very much on
version 5.
