Hi All,
Sorry for the top post but I wanted to put the solution first...
It turns out that I need to lay off the crack pipe a little bit. As
soon as I added --ghost to the correct place everything started working
fine. This was a little frustrating as everything that I found on the
Net seemed to indicate that the --ghost option goes in the wrong place.
Example: I WAS trying combinations of this, which doesn't work.
dn: cn=internal,ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com
cn: internal
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: -soft,intr,nodev,tcp,ro nfs.example.com:/var/qa
--ghost
It works just fine when you add it here:
dn: cn=/software,ou=auto.master,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: automount
cn: /software
automountInformation:
ldap:qapxe.qa.mxlogic.com:ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com
--ghost
I apologize for wasting everyones time,
Apologize!? Heck, thanks for tracking this down!
Do you know if this works without the ldap syntax in
automountInformation? E.g. can you use just:
automountInformation: auto.software --ghost
cheers

Hrrrm thanks,
I believe that it is an unresolved bug, based on the info regarding this
issue that I've already found via google....
It looks like the autofs author back in 2006 came _real close_ to
looking into this, but a workaround seemed to have put this issue back
into the deep dark corners of his mind. In fact he probably has dreams
that he forgot about something to this day because of it.
I'm joining the list to see if I can't get anyone to look into this....

I should clarify... My original looked like this:
dn: cn=internal,ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=mxlogic,dc=com
cn: internal
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: -soft,intr,nodev,tcp,ro
itchy.corp.mxlogic.com:/var/qa
Which worked but I want to use the --ghost option so I tried....
dn: cn=internal,ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=mxlogic,dc=com
cn: internal
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: -soft,intr,nodev,tcp,ro
itchy.corp.mxlogic.com:/var/qa --ghost
Which broke it.

As far as I know this is an unresolved bug in autofs's LDAP support.
There may be workarounds depending on which OS/distribution you're on.
