Great, then hopefully Karl will just add the patch and we'll be good. > > The F14 supplied amd from am-utils-6.1.5-17 does NOT work at all with > autofs - we compiled a kernel with autofs3 enabled, amd would not load.

The fact is that autofs has been removed from 2.6.38 and we need to spend our time making sure the autofs4 module works with products that use autofs the kernel communication protocols. The final change needed is for autofs4 to be renamed to autofs to finally remove that fork in development. I'm looking forward to the breakage that will cause, ;) Ian _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
