Public bug reported: A long time ago I reported a bug in the autofs package: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/111612
That bug was fixed, but now I've discovered that the same bug still exists in the autofs5 package. Please see the above bug for the issue and the fix (I applied the fix by hand to my current system and it did solve the problem). Without this fix, the autofs /net map is simply non-functioning in many common Enterprise environments. ~$ dpkg -S auto.net autofs5: /usr/share/autofs5/conffiles/auto.net ~$ lsb_release -r -d Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 ~$ apt-cache policy autofs5 autofs5: Installed: 5.0.5-0ubuntu2.1 Candidate: 5.0.5-0ubuntu2.1 Version table: *** 5.0.5-0ubuntu2.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-proposed/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.0.5-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: autofs5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912030 Title: The auto.net script that comes with autofs5 is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/912030/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
