Hello,


I'm running Redhat 5.2
I upgraded to kernel v2.2.1 and installed all of the updates from:
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/updates/5.2/kernel-2.2/i386

Then I compiled autofs 3.1.3
% automount -v
Linux automount version 3.1.3

If I have a /etc/auto.master like this:
/var/spool     /etc/auto.mail

and a /etc/auto.mail like this:
mail -rw,fstype=nfs,nolock,actimeo=0 mailspool:/export/spool/mail

Then I can't see anything in /var/spool (like mqueue)

One way I've fixed this problem is:

/etc/auto.master:
/misc   /etc/auto.misc  --timeout 60

/etc/auto.misc:
mail -rw,fstype=nfs,nolock,actimeo=0 mailspool:/export/spool/mail

ln -s /misc/mail /var/spool/mail



Is there a better way?

Is there a plan to put direct maps into autofs?


I think "amd" might be able to do what I want, but I've heard
of a bunch of improvements going on in autofs...I've been unable
to find good documentation on autofs.

Is amd gonna go away???

I would appreciate pointers to all things autofs in Linux.

Is there an archive of this mailing list?


Thanks,

Jeff Mangewala
