Dear all,

    The rc script that comes with autofs touches /var/lock/subsys/automount
on startup.  On system shutdown, the /etc/rc.d/rc script will look the
/var/lock/subsys/ to see what /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/K* that have to run to
stop the processes. It is very unfortunate that the name of the K*
script (which is K08autofs) is different from that in the /var dir
(which is automount). The /usr directory of my system is NFS mounted
from a remote server. Failure of shutting down processes that use
/usr before umounting /usr generates a lot of NFS complaints.

    Should /var/lock/subsys/autofs be touched on startup?

Thank you very much!
