Hey all- I'm testing out CentOS 5 (i.e. RedHat 5) and and playing around with autofs 5.0.1 which is the version that ships with it. I'm noticing three odd things based on what I was seeing in RedHat 4.4 (which has autofs 4.1.3):
1: Before, with autofs 4.1.3, I had in /etc/nsswitch.conf: automount: files ldap And I had some maps in /etc/auto.master that mounted AND I had some maps in LDAP that mounted, both worked OK together. But in Autofs 5.0.1, the same line in nsswitch.conf only lets me use whatever is first, i.e. if files is listed first it automounts with flat files but not LDAP, or vice versa. Is there any way to get them BOTH working again, or is this a nifty feature that has been removed? 2: When it loads flat files from auto.master locally, I see all the maps mount at once randomly, i.e. if I have 1 map with 10 mounts listed in it, I see them ALL mount at once! Even though I didn't access them. They seem to come and go randomly... Is this normal with autofs 5? 3: I used to see this when I did a "ps -ef | grep automount" in autofs 4.1.3: % ps -ef | grep automount [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ps -ef | grep automount root 3373 1 0 Mar14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=6000 /cluster file /etc/auto.cluster intr root 3442 1 0 Mar14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=6000 /share file /etc/auto.share root 3489 1 0 Mar14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 --ghost /home ldap nisMapName=auto.home,dc=someuniv,dc=edu -hard,intr,rw root 3565 1 0 Mar14 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=60 --ghost /projects ldap nisMapName=auto.projects,dc=someuniv,dc=edu -hard,intr,rw But now all I see on 5.0.1 is: % ps -ef | grep automount: root 25274 1 0 14:43 ? 00:00:00 automount root 25451 18488 0 15:02 pts/1 00:00:00 grep automount Not nearly as descriptive as to *what* is actually live or not... Thanks for any hints!! -erich _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
