Hi All,
I just pushed a security update for autofs, and wanted to comment two things 
about it.

First
This is a security update that changes some basic behaviors.  It was changed 
for security reasons.
I don't know how many people this will affect, but I just want to give a heads 
up to everyone, just incase it affects you.  This is from the email that went out.
"Due to the fact that autofs always mounted hosts map entries suid by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nosuid" option when
mounting from the default hosts map. The "suid" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the hosts map which corresponds to the /net entry in the
default configuration."

Second
I had accidentally recompiled the i386 version with .sl5 instead of .el5.  It 
made it all the way through the system until I started putting the errata email 
together.  At that point, I quickly pulled it out of the security update area 
on the distribution server.
I hopefully pulled it off before anyone started downloading it.  But just 
incase I didn't, I'm sorry.
There is no real difference between the .sl5 rpm and the .el5 rpm other than 
the name.  But we dont' put .sl5 on anything other than packages that we've 
changed, and I didn't want to confuse anyone with that.
