The desription about Variable substitution in autofs(5) says that
|
|
|
306fa1 |
translation is done on the key and location fields which is not
|
|
|
306fa1 |
correct.
|

|
|

Expecting to be able to receive a key from the kernel that
|
|
|
306fa1 |
contains variables to be substituted doesn't make sense and
|
|
|
306fa1 |
to be able to use map keys with substitution would mean a full
|
|
|
306fa1 |
map scan for every lookup for all map sources. That is not
|
|
|
306fa1 |
unacceptable for large maps.
