Document RH134 describes an example of an incorrect use of wildcards in autofs. Specifically, the * character will replace the & character in the /shares/& pattern. For example, work results in /shares/work, but the document mentions another path as /exports/work (see below)
====================== RH134 - Section 9.3 ======================
Wildcards in an Indirect Map
When an NFS server exports multiple subdirectories within a directory, then the automounter can be configured to access any of those subdirectories with a single mapping entry.
Continuing the previous example, if serverb:/shares exports two or more subdirectories, and they are accessible with the same mount options, then the content for the /etc/auto.demo file might appear as follows:
* -rw,sync serverb:/shares/&
The mount point (or key) is an asterisk character (*), and the subdirectory on the source location is an ampersand character (&). Everything else in the entry is the same.
When a user attempts to access /shares/work, the * key (which is work in this example) replaces the ampersand in the source location and serverb:/exports/work is mounted. As with the indirect example, the autofs service creates and removes the work directory automatically.
