RHBA-2013:0864 - am-utils bug fix update
Synopsis
am-utils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated am-utils packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The am-utils packages provide the BSD automounter, Amd, which maintains a cache of mounted file systems. File systems are mounted when they are first referenced by a user, and unmounted after a period of inactivity.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the BSD automounter ignored the NFS "noacl" mount option, which disables ACL (Access Control List) support on NFS shares. Local file systems such as ext3 do not have ACLs enabled unless the "acl" mount option is supplied. An attempt to use the setfacl utility or another ACL operation on a share that had "noacl" specified was supposed to result in an "Operation not supported" error, but it did not. With this update, a backported patch has been provided and the "noacl" option is supported as expected. (BZ#964133)
Users of am-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
