That was our original reasoning for using v4, we wanted to get /net working the way it does in Solaris. Do you know of any how-tos to get that working, we tried to set that up but we were unsuccessful. Maybe the problem is that we needed to have autofs v4 userspace tools to make that happen.
Thanks for the advice, I will talk to the rest of my team and decide on a course of action to fix this. Any idea when autofs v4 will go gold? :-) --aaron > -----Original Message----- > From: H.
