Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-3
Severity: normal

The replicated hosts feature of autofs isn't working right on Debian.
The automounter that comes with Debian will only use the first server in
the list and never falls back to the others.

/etc/auto.master:
/srv/autofs     /etc/auto.global

/etc/auto.global:
jon787  -hard,intr,nodev,nosuid         junkers(1):/home/jon787
tesla(2):/home/setec/jon787

This should first try to mount from junkers and then fallback to tesla
if junkers is unavailable according to README.replicated-server
Actual behavior is it tries to talk to junkers and then just fails after
awhile, never trying to contact tesla.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~(0)# ls -l /srv/autofs/jon787/
ls: /srv/autofs/jon787/: No such file or directory

daemon.log:
Feb 28 13:31:50 tesla automount[1660]: failed to mount
/srv/autofs/jon787

I use the exact same configuration on a Gentoo system running autofs
4.1.3 and it is falling back to tesla properly.
