Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer

Trying to debug custom-created I've noticed that browsing /net to discover hosts with exports never works. One has to know hostnames beforehand. However, /etc/special_hosts when run without arguments enumerates available hosts.

$ cat /etc/auto_master
/net		-hosts		-nosuid

$ automountd -d
automountd: waiting for request from the kernel
automountd: not forking due to -d flag; will exit after servicing a single request
automountd: got request 2: from map -hosts, path /net/, prefix "/net", key "", options "nosuid"
automountd: parsing map "-hosts"
automountd: skipping map -hosts due to forced -nobrowse
automountd: found node defined at [kernel request]:0; not a mountpoint
automountd: creating subtree at /net
automountd: completing request 2 with error 0

$ ls /net
<EMPTY>

$ /etc/autofs/special_hosts
localhost

$ /etc/autofs/special_hosts localhost
/p      localhost:/p

$ ls /net/localhost
mydir

$ ls /net
localhost

Log:
  Add "nobrowse" option.  Previously automountd(8) always behaved as if
  it was set, now it's conditional.
