[opensuse-factory] [RFC] autofs5
Hi, I would like to update to autofs5. autofs5 is a major rewrite of autofs4 and while there might still be some problems I hope it is stable enough. Fedora is already shipping this. We really should have it in Code 11, so I want this to be tested in openSUSE 10.3. Most of the new features enhance the functionality to be more compliant with industry standard. For testing purposes I already provide packages for factory and 10.2 in the buildservice: http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Amakoenig Here is a list of changes: Differences v4 vs. v5 --------------------- - Master map is now read and parsed by the `automount' daemon - The master map default is "auto.master" and nsswitch is used to locate it. The line "+auto.master" has been added to the default installed "/etc/auto.master" to ensure that those using NIS will still find their master map. This is in line with other industry automount implementations. - The `automount' daemon is now a multi-threaded application - `autofs' filesystem mounts only appear in /proc/mounts and not /etc/mtab. - `autofs' version 5.0.0 will refuse to run if it cannot find an autofs4 kernel module that supports protocol version 5.00 or above. - mount options present in the master map are now overridden by mount options in map entries instead of being accumulated. This behaviour is in line with other industry automount implementations. New features in v5 ------------------ - improved direct mount map support - `+' map inclusion - added nsswitch map source support - rewrote multi-mount map code - added LDAP encryption and authentication support - improved shutdown and restart - a "hosts" map module has been added Before going to factory, any comments on this update?
