autofs 5 package has a wrong default configuration file bundled in a package with it.
Since version 5, autofs has a different config file syntax then version 4, but ArchLinux package still has a config in autofs 4 format. It prevents, for example, to configure browse mode or timeout properly. I propose to include a default config file from the original autofs tarball, which can be found at 'samples/autofs.conf.default.in'. In the attachment, you can find this file.

   autofs.conf.default.in (3.9 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  "/etc/conf.d/autofs" is sourced in "/etc/rc.d/autofs" and not used by automount(8) itself. Create a configuration file manually, instead.

As far as I can see, we do not bundle any configuration file at all? Where exactly did you find the outdated configuration file?

Hi, Lukas
It is a part of a package autofs.
The outdated file is /etc/conf.d/autofs. As you can see in the listing below.

[root@warzone ~]# pacman -Qo /etc/conf.d/autofs
/etc/conf.d/autofs is owned by autofs 5.0.6-2
[root@warzone ~]# pacman -Ql autofs | grep conf.d
autofs /etc/conf.d/
autofs /etc/conf.d/autofs
[root@warzone ~]#

Here is the file itself
   autofs (0.1 KiB)

"/etc/conf.d/autofs" isn't used upstream at all, it's sourced in "/etc/rc.d/autofs" and used to specify the command line arguments passed to automount(8) only.
