+(15) Solaris 8 + patch 10899[34]-xx (xx >= 18) or patch 11260[56]-xx
With this patch, Sun updated the autofs kernel module and automountd
userspace daemon from version 3 to version 4. They also updated the
-/usr/include/rpcsvc/autofs_proc.x file, but forgot to regenerate the
-autofs_proc.h file. Thus, when amd is compiled, it uses the old header and
+/usr/include/rpcsvc/autofs_prot.x file, but forgot to regenerate the
+autofs_prot.h file. Thus, when amd is compiled, it uses the old header and
thinks it should use autofs version 3, when in fact the kernel now support
(and expects) only version 4.
-The fix is to run 'rpcgen -h /usr/include/rpcsvc/autofs_proc.x >
-/usr/include/rpcsvc/autofs_proc.h' and completely reconfigure and rebuild

am-utils (removing config.cache before running configure).
