+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #566481 +++

Description of problem:

autofs can't use an automount LDAP DN using the l (localityName) attribute. With 

Entry in /etc/auto.master:

/home  ldap:automountMapName=auto_home,l=sanjose,ou=labs,dc=example,dc=com

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.102

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an automount map to LDAP using the localityName attribute
2. Point an entry in /etc/auto.master to your DN

Additional info:

With LOGGING set to debug, I see the following in /var/log/messages regarding the LDAP DN with localityName :

I have built a package with a patch that might resolve this
issue. It can be found at:
http://people.redhat.com/~ikent/autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.140.bz566481.1.el5

I haven't tested the change at all but if you want to test it out
on a test machine please do, otherwise you'll need to wait until
I get time to setup a test environment and do some tests.

The test RPM works in my test environment. The syntax error is gone and I now have a working automounter - thanks!

Thanks, I'll do some testing, when I get a chance, to see if it
breaks anything else.
