Hi guys!

I have a NIS based automount configuration that reads like that :

lri4-154 linux # ypcat -k auto.master
/special auto.special  -rw,intr,soft
/servers auto.servers  -rw,intr,soft
/local auto.local    -rw,intr,soft
/u auto.u            -rw,intr,soft,nosuid
/tmpsim auto.tmpsim     -rw,intr,soft
/users auto.users    -rw,intr,hard,nosuid,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600,retrans=2

Didn't seem like a badly formatted one. So I launched autofs, and here's
what it said :

 * Starting automounter ...
 /special/usr/sbin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got r,soft
 * Failure on /special
 /servers/usr/sbin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got r,soft
 * Failure on /servers
 /local/usr/sbin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got r,soft
 * Failure on /local
 /u/usr/sbin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got r,soft,nosuid
 * Failure on /u
 /tmpsim/usr/sbin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got r,soft
 * Failure on /tmpsim
 /users/usr/sbin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got r,hard,nosuid,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600,retrans=2
 * Failure on /users

Point is that the `-rw,int' is interpreted by the getopt like a bunch of
not understood options then a `t', as in `timeout'. So the next part,
e.g. `r,soft', is considered as the argument of `timeout' which is not
quite good.

What I did is that I removed the short opts for getopt in the init.d
script, but I'm not quite sure it's The Right Thing to Do.

Maybe the config got from nis is faulty, if so, just tell me, I'll
despise my sysadmin.

Thanks!

PS: In fact, it seems that the mount options are not applied at
all. Don't have a clue why.
