Synopsis
autofs5 bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated autofs5 package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts, and then unmounts file systems after a period of
inactivity. File systems can include network file systems, CD-ROMs, diskettes,
and other media.
This updated autofs5 package fixes the following bugs:
- previously, when using client certificates with autofs the certificate DN
couldn't be used in LDAP ACLs. With this update, the SASL EXTERNAL
authentication mechanism is used for maping the certificate DN to an LDAP DN.
(bz#615258)
- previously, autofs could occasionally get suspended during expire of mounts
stage if there were many automount managed mounts. With this update, autofs runs
without suspension even with larger amounts of automount managed mounts.
(bz#615259)
All users of autofs5 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
