Hello, autofsers.  I've sat down and written a lookup_* module to deal mount
queries to an LDAP server.  This is first-generation code now, but it works
pretty well.  I'm looking for feedback from people who wrote and who grok
autofs.  I had to work out the internals by reading the source, and alhtough
it wasn't too bad, second opinions are always good.

So, for your inspection: http://www.imsa.edu/~gene/work/lookup_ldap.c

This map takes a bunch of command-line style arguments which meant a little
more legwork then most of the other modules do for options processing.
Usage would be something like this (what I used for testing):
automount /mnt/home ldap zeus -b <searchbase> -h host -k keyfield -v
valuefield

The "zeus" (ie mapname) is a placeholder at the moment and means nothing.
It's the options that are important.

Comments and thoughts much appreciated.

Gene
