Hmmmmm... I have to agree with you, the combination we are using seems broken to me. :-) So which do you think is most likely to work properly, autofs v3 or v4? I looked around at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs and the latest version I could find was autofs-4.0.0pre10. Is that stable enough to use, or do you think it would be better to stick with autofs v3 for now? I can go either way.
