Hmm. I ran into more issues with autofs. Not sure when they actually started, I only noticed them today. After some poking around I figured out that:
1. The "map auto.master: Local domain name not set" error occurs when I include "+auto.master" in /etc/auto.master. I also found out that this entry in /etc/auto.master is not required (at least on my installation). 2. For some bizarre reason, the way I had my autofs map files set up didn't work anymore without specifically adding ".local" to the server identification. For instance I'd set up: /home/user/Pictures server:/home/user/Pictures I had to change this to: /home/user/Pictures server.local:/home/user/Pictures This (so far) appears to have solved my issues with automount. At the same time I also changed /etc/nsswitch.conf: From: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 To: hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4 But I'm not sure that had any impact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488696 Title: syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/488696/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
