Re: Autofs wrongly tries to use NFS for a program map

==> Regarding [autofs] Autofs wrongly tries to use NFS for a program map; Mi <mi.lists@alma.ch> adds:

mi> Hello, I'm trying to use a program map for external Firewire drives,

mi> I simplified things to a minimum to show the problem.  /etc/auto.test1

mi>     # grep test /etc/auto.master /test1 /etc/auto.test1 --timeout=60
mi> /test2 /etc/auto.test2 --timeout=60

mi>     # cat /etc/auto.test1 sdb7 -fstype=ext3 :/dev/sdb7

mi>     # cat /etc/auto.test2
mi>     #!/bin/bash echo "sdb7 -fstype=ext3 :/dev/sdb7"

Program maps need not print the "key".  Since the automount daemon already
knows what key it is looking up, this would be redundant information.
Simply get rid of the "sdb7" from the beginning of your echo line and
things should work
