Users of autofs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.

Fixes

  • BZ - 1358887 - On Red Hat 7.x systems if you try to access local filesystems using the automounter through /net then the shell and mount could lock up *if* the filesystem your accessing is double exported.
  • BZ - 1581502 - PID file never created or disappears
  • BZ - 1598640 - Server availability probe broke tunneling nfs via localhost - [RHEL-7.6]
  • BZ - 1609128 - autofs reload is unable to activate new map entries, it is autofs restart which shows new map entries.
  • BZ - 1612914 - [autofs]Removed entries still can be accessed
