autofs failure to mount when using wild card in entry and ldap
Last modified: 2006-08-14 07:12:03 UTC
autofs is not able to succesfully find and/or match usernames to automount map enties when configured to read maps from an ldapserver and the map entry contains a wildcard i.e. servername:/home/& where the "&" should represent the user name The logs indicate the automount process is unable to find a coresponding map entry. This behavior is different than the behavior of autofs4-4.1.3-8.rpm (from SuSE 9.3)which works using the same map entries. _22-Other_Product: standard suse 10.0 with a default KDE install Open Ldap Server _23-Steps: Compared a standard SuSE 9.3 install agains a standard SuSE10 install. both were configured to use LDAP for Authentication and set to have the automounter start The SuSE 9.3 install would automount the home directory. The SuSE 10.0 install would not automount the home directory. _24-Other_Scenarios: Didn't try others _25-Environment_Description: One production NFS server running SLES 9sp2 One Production Ldap Server Running SLES 9 sp2 and OpenLDAP One work station Running SuSE 10 configured to use ldap and automount We currently have many suse 9.3 prof boxes running off this environment using the same configuration. The Suse 10 box was to be tested and if it worked we were to upgrade all boxes to suse 10.
i substituted the older autofs rpm for the one included on suse 10 and then suse 10 worked fine. the problem is with the rmp package included in suse 10.
This is not a kernel issue, it's in the autofs user land.
