[Bug 699737] Re: automount[1275]: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]
Suggestion for addition to documentation: one line (in autofs or auto.master man pages) to remind people to insert: automount: nis files (or some such) into the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. The Ubuntu default nsswitch.conf file does not have ANY line for automount. I have been usuing automounter for a long time with SunOS, Solaris, other Linux. I had to refer to my Sun workstation nsswitch.conf files to try to figure out what was wrong. As soon as I inserted the above line into the Ubuntu nsswitch.conf file, and did the "service autofs reload", my NFS shared home directories specified by auto.* files in NIS (aka yp) appeared! Now I'm a happy camper! Obviously, other choices for source of automount files exist (e.g. LDAP). In my setup, I use NIS, and "fall back" to files, if necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/699737 Title: automount[1275]: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/699737/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Thanks Chuck, i've search similar report on Launchpad too but cant find any close to this one: neither about autofs nor nsswitch, so the other possible package is base-files -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs5 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/699737 Title: automount[1275]: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
