Topic

Updated autofs packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon. The daemon
automatically mounts file systems when in use and unmounts them when they are
not busy.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when an autofs mount used the "browse" option, autofs could create

directories that did not correspond to map entries within its map. This was due
to autofs not properly checking for entries that corresponded to previously
failed mount attempts, the so-called "negative entries". The check for negative
map entries has been corrected, and autofs now works as intended. (BZ#1089889).

Users of autofs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
