Hi Dimitrijs, can you add a Test case and Regression potential section
to the bug description per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
? Leaving the upload in the queue for now. Thanks!

Doh... done =)
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: autofs5
+ [IMPACT]
- This is the error I get in syslog after autofs start. I have some issues
- with autofs not working, and that can be the case.
+ By default installed autofs, fails to parse the default/unmodified
+ nsswitch.conf
Why isn't this fixed for Precise? Ubuntu is often a server OS. Autofs is
best practice for mounts by a server. Precise is LTS, so this belongs on
it.

The fix has been uploaded into precise-proposed at about the same time as the
fix for quantal.
Please note the package name in precise is autofs5 and not autofs.
The fix is currently in the precise-proposed unapproved queue [1], pending
Stable Release Updates Team to review the upload and commit
for #3 there are two options:
* fix the lex/yacc parser
* copypaste + adjust the pure C parser from libc.

Currently autofs falls back to reading it's own configuration files, if the
parser did not find automount stanza.
The problem is that the current autofs' parser fails on the default
nsswitch.conf
See: lib/nss_parse.y
Options are:
1) change default nsswitch.conf (not gonna happen see comment
@Robie Basak (racb) #19
That patch has been in the autofs[5] package for a while now. Yet the bug is
still there.

Title:
Steve's comment #18 is not correct. Automount was first created in the
late 1980's, and when Sun released the first version of name service
switch in the early 1990's, it was already being used to manage
automount maps. Automount maps have been considered a standard, basic
name service ever
Is this a suitable upstream fix/workaround?

This information does not belong in /etc/nsswitch.conf. nsswitch.conf
is a configuration file for libc, for selecting between NSS modules;
autofs should not be relying on being able to stick its own
configuration settings in this file. And base-files should not be
adding such non-standard config

The addition to /etc/nsswitch.conf needs to be done either:
a) in the nsswitch.conf file shipped by the base-files package, or
b) as part of the postinst/postrm scripts of autofs5
This issue also causes failure for users of autosshfs (not packaged for
Ubuntu as yet).

Hmm. I ran into more issues with autofs. Not sure when they actually
started, I only noticed them today. After some poking around I figured
out that:
1. The map auto.master: Local domain name not set error occurs when I include
+auto.master in /etc/auto.master. I also found out that this entry
Note to previous - had to install dnsmasq package and run the dnsmasq
deamon to fix the problem with the resolution of hostnames on the local
network. After that I removed the .local extension from the server
name and things are still working for me.

Why is that a year after the fix was released (adding the nnswitch.conf
line works for me on Ubuntu Server 10.10), there is no updated package
with the fix for Ubuntu 10.10? 11.04 does not appear to need the fix,
despite that line being added. But 11.04 does. Shouldn't it have been
pushed out?
