auto.net gets a key with a path under SLES9.

[Hans Deragon <hans@deragon.biz>]

Greetings.


   I compiled autofs 4.1.4 for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9). 
I did found a little problem with auto.net.  The original code has:

   key=$1

   However, under SLES9, in my network environment, $key can be of the 
form "server/something[/otherthing]*", which is wrong.  $key should only 
be a server name.  I fixed the problem with:

   key=`echo $1 | perl -wp -e 's%^(\w+)(\/?.+)*$%$1%;'`

   My fix removes any path after the server name.

   Exactly why automount passes a server name containg some path is 
unclear for me.  But I wanted to report this here.  If other suffer from 
this, you might want to consider some fix like mine (maybe using sed 
which is more standard).

   I have not experienced this under Fedora Core 4 (FC4).
