any remote chance that Sun (the LI member guys that are talking about
opening up sources to Sloaris and Sparc CPUs) will contribute some code
and effort to that cause if we ask them? automounting in a
sun-compatable way (or lack of it) is a big show stopper for integrating
Linux workstations in large corporations right now :-(
and as a side question: will the current developers of autofs welcome
such help?
(I hope no one here considers this a flame bait, my concerns are purely
for the functionality of the workstations I administrate)
