Not quite 100% necessarily so: recall that your original compiles were using
the book-default './configure ...': whereas below you're using the five
'--without-...' options.
If you're OK to do it, then the penultimate stage would be to: backup your
current config/map files, then recompile in the same way as your most-recent
compile per your first email of today, but with the sole, single change that
you omit the '--without-libtirpc' on the './configure ...' line: i.e. use the
original-source autofs - i.e. with the original 'LIBTIRPC' block of code
_NOT_ commented-out - and the following config line:
---
$ ./configure --prefix=/ --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--without-systemd --without-hesiod \
--without-openldap --without-sasl
$
---
Run 'automount -vfd /etc/auto.master' like before, and see if it gives errors:
i.e. does omitting the '--without-libtirpc' cause automount to execute that
block of LIBTIRPC code and hit errors.
If you do hit errors then paste 'em here, please. And then reinstate the
'--without-libtirpc' and omit the --without-hesiod, recompile, test, and see
if it hits kerberos/hesiod or any errors, and paste here if so.
You've been commendably patient with this extra testing now that you've got it
working: and a few extra tests would be useful; and apols that am not quite yet
in a position here to test directly (I'll also test it without any
ldap/sasl/kerberos installed, to check if the book's 'Required' status for them
is correct).
