Hi all, Another beta. I think we are getting close to a release but we need more testing in more areas on this or we will be stuck with annoying bugs in the v5 release for longer than we should. Please find a little time to check this out. autofs ====== The package can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5 It is autofs-5.0.0_beta4.tar.[gz|bz2] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.0_beta4.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.0_beta4.tar.gz See the INSTALL file for information about configure options and kernel requirements. Here are the entries from the CHANGELOG which outline the updates: 2/6/2006 autofs-5.0.0_beta4 --------------------------- - fix memory alloc error in nis lookup module. - add "_" to "." mapname translation to nis lookup module. - fix white space handling in replicated server selection code. - merge don't strip debug info macro patch (Jeff Moyer). - merge patch to add sanity checks on rmdir_path and unlink (Jeff Moyer). - merge patch fix e2fsck error code check (Jeff Moyer). - update hesiod module (Jeff Moyer). - add mutex to protect against overlapping mount requests. - update return from mount request to give more sensible NSS_* values. - fix handling of autofs filesystem mount fail on init. - add back test test for nested mount in program map lookup. - I must have commented this out for a reason. I guess we'll find out soon enough. - fix "-hosts" map not finding entry for the "nobrowse" case. - update man page with description of "-hosts" map type. - complete logging, including per mount logging. - still needs some more work but that will need to wait. - change init script to check for read on config file instead of execute. - fix lookup of wildcard map entry for several map types. - fix fail to realease cache read lock on indirect map expire. - fix incorrect cache update of wildcard map entry. - alter master map lookup semantics to be a little more like version 4. The way we should locate the master map needs more investigation and may change again.
