Current code does not allow a case when nsswitch.conf does not mention automount map at all, like all new installations. It logs a rather unpleasant error message instead: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] this patch has a minimal fix, to allo "file" to be empty. Whole parser in C is about 25 lines of code, the "grammar" is trivial, and it is better to ditch all this yacc/lex stuff, but that will be much more intrusive change.
