Right, I'm going to attempt to summarise a very long thread which addressed an
automount problem(once again I must thank akhiezer for his help and patience in
solving it).
Autofs-5.0.7 was built according to the compile/install instructions for autofs
in the blfs book, but I did a 'client-only' install of OpenLDAP-2.4.33 and at
one point compiled it against MIT Kerberos V5-1.10.3, but this was later
removed.
Either way I don't believe this had any bearing on the outcome.
Autofs- 5.0.7 always started from boot up but failed create any dir. specified
in the '/etc/automaster' file or to mount it when a usbstick was inserted.
I believe(correct me if I'm wrong akhiezer)that the solution boiled down to two
changes that were made.
1) I reverted a change made by the 'autofs-5.0.6-fix-libtirpc-name-clash.patch'
to the file 'lib/rpc_subs.c' in the source distrib, and commented-out the code:
---
#ifdef WITH_LIBTIRPC
#undef auth_destroy
#define auth_destroy(auth) \
do { \
int refs; \
if ((refs = auth_put((auth))) == 0) \
((*((auth)->ah_ops->ah_destroy))(auth));\
} while (0)
#endif
---
thus:
===
/*
#ifdef WITH_LIBTIRPC
#undef auth_destroy
#define auth_destroy(auth) \
do { \
int refs; \
if ((refs = auth_put((auth))) == 0) \
((*((auth)->ah_ops->ah_destroy))(auth));\
} while (0)
#endif
*/
===
I then recompiled Autofs.
2) I adjusted the '/etc/auto.master' file to read:
---
/testautomount file:/etc/auto.testautomount
---
rather than:
---
/testautomount /etc/auto.testautomount
---
This was to be more explicit about the type of map that was being used. A
minor change, but one that worked.
*Please note that the 'auto.testautomount' dir. was a test point and this would
normally be 'auto.misc'.*
