Package: autofs Version: 4.1.4+debian-2.1 Severity: normal During the outsourcing of my current job, I've had need to mount a couple DFS (yes, the archaic DCE/DFS combo) filesystems.
On the AIX boxen, I did this: 1) mkdir /... 2) add a direct mount to /etc/auto_master (indirect doesn't work ?!?) 3) add /... -<options> <server>:/... to /etc/auto.direct And things just worked fine, so I thought I'd simplify my life and make the Linux servers (already doing NFS/AFS/CIFS) able to mount the paths as well. So I replicated the steps 1-3 above (and indirect mounts also failed ?!?) But when I restarted autofs, I get this little gem in the log: automount[18849]: cache_ghost: entry in file:/etc/auto.direct not valid map format, key /... Now, I don't even have the -g/--ghost option turned on ! It appears that someone was trying sanity tests (disallow /. and /..), but didn't contemplate their being anything after /.. (like another ., or any other character)... Clearly, the length of the key must also be taken into consideration ! -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny-sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.7 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages autofs depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii ucf 3.0010 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages autofs recommends: ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii nfs-common 1:1.1.4-1 NFS support files common to client autofs suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * autofs/upgrade-from-broken-version: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
