Yes, you can run it against a RedHat 6.2 distro. That's what I was using originally. The main difficulty I had was that the search engines don't return anything particularly good about autofs v4. Everything looks out of date. Also missing is an autofs v4 HOWTO that helps describe how to do the right stuff and which files need to be updated. I also had the same problem with nfs v3. I never did get autofs v4 and nfsv3 to act as an NFS *server* even though the clients worked fine. Run "autofs v4 home page" into google. Lots of junk; not much relevant. autofs on freshmeat gives me 3.1.7. Perhaps the main problem is that people just don't know that autofs v4 exists unless they starting hunting for Solaris NIS maps on Linux. That was how I found it. Just finding http://www.goop.org/~jeremy/autofs/ is difficult. How do we make this easier for people to find? The other issue is that the particular autofs stuff that you really want to debug is more relevant to heterogeneous Solaris-Linux environments. I only moved to autofs v4/nfs v3 because I needed support for Solaris maps and nfs (if you want to see slow, try bouncing nfs v2 off of a loaded Solaris nfs server. Ick.) Perhaps we want to post to a few Solaris newsgroups to catch some of the sysadmins who are using it. -a _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
