Hi all, This release is long overdue and is very much needed to consolidate the many patches we now have against 5.0.2. See below for more information. Known issues ============ - Restarting autofs when there are busy mount (with configure option --enable-ignore-busy enabled) doesn't work properly. This is going to require implementing an alternate ioctl interface before I can start work on this within the daemon. I'm working on that now. - Quoted strings in the master map are still not yet handled. I have spent more time on this but it is still not done. autofs ====== The package can be found at: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5 It is autofs-5.0.3.tar.[gz|bz2] No source rpm is there as it can be produced by using: rpmbuild -ts autofs-5.0.3.tar.gz and the binary rpm by using: rpmbuild -tb autofs-5.0.3.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: 14/01/2008 autofs-5.0.3 ----------------------- - include krb5.h in lookup_ldap.h (some openssl doesn't implicitly include it). - correct initialization of local var in parse_server_string. - add missing "multi" map support. - add multi nsswitch lookup. - change random multiple server selection option name to be consistent with existing downstream version 4 naming. - fix mount point directory creation for bind mounts. - add quoting for exports gathered by hosts map. - fix wait time resolution in alarm and state queue handlers. - fix handling of quoted slash alone. - fix parse confusion between attribute and attribute value. - fix version passed to get_supported_ver_and_cost. - mark map instances stale so they aren't "cleaned" during updates. - fix large file compile time option. - don't fail on empty master map. - add support for the "%" hack for case insensitive attribute schemas. - fix "nosymlink" option handling and add desription to man page. - fix don't fail on empty master map. - if there's no "automount" entry in nsswitch.conf use "files" source. - add LDAP schema discovery if no schema is configured. - add random selection as a master map entry option. - fix couple of edge case parse fails of timeout option. - check for "*" when looking up wildcard in LDAP. - fix LDAP schema discovery. - add SEARCH_BASE configuration option. - work around segv at exit due to libxml2 tsd usage. - re-read config on HUP signal. - add LDAP_URI, LDAP_TIMEOUT and LDAP_NETWORK_TIMEOUT configuration options. - fix forground logging and add option to man page. - remove unjustified, nasty comment about krb5 package. - fix deadlock in submount mount module. - fix lack of ferror() checking when reading files. - fix typo in autofs(5) man page. - fix map entry expansion when undefined macro is present. - remove unused export validation code. - add dynamic logging (adapted from v4 patch from Jeff Moyer). - fix recursive loopback mounts (Matthias Koenig). - add map re-load to verbose logging. - fix handling of LDAP base dns with spaces. - handle MTAB_NOTUPDATED status return from mount. - when default master map, auto.master, is used also check for auto_master. - fix schema selection in LDAP schema discovery. - update negative mount timeout handling. - fix large group handling (Ryan Thomas). - fix for dynamic logging breaking non-sasl build (Guillaume Rousse) - eliminate NULL proc ping for singleton host or local mounts. - fix incorrect read/write size of startup status token (Matthias Koenig). - fix off-by-one error for lookup of map keys exactly 255 characters long. - improve handling of server not available. - fix LDAP_URI server selection. - add authentication option for using an external credential cache. - expand support for the "%" hack. - fix to quoting for exports gathered by hosts map. - use mount option "nosuid" for "-hosts" map unless "suid" is explicily specified. - second attempt fixing quoting for exports gathered by hosts map. - quell annoying "cannot open mount module" message. - fix for improve handling of server not available. - use mount option "nodev" for "-hosts" map unless "dev" is explicily specified. - add LDAP paged query handling to deal with query size restrictions (Edward Newman). - add additional case for "mark map instances stale so they aren't "cleaned" during updates". - fix race during sub-mount shutdown. - fix add SEARCH_BASE configuration option. - update kernel patches.
