This was solved building autofs with -DLDAP_DEPRECATED. OpenLDAP developper suggest to correct autofs to use the non-deprecated API. Full details at http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi?findid=4168
is this a kernel bug?
Not really a kernel bug, but as the autofs source comes from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs, so I thought this bugzilla was the best place to report the problem. Should I use another system ?
This Bugzilla is only for bugs in the kernel itself. For problems in autofs-4.1.4, please contact the autofs developers at http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
Yes this is clearly a userspace issue. I've now seen it on the autofs list and I'll check the LDAP requirements.
