To whom it may concern-
 
I'm neither running RedHat nor Debian, so the autofs sample bootscript supplied with the latest autofs-4.0.0pre10 didn't run 'out-of-the-box'.  Since I have altered the script to work for my system, I thought I'd let you guys know (since automount told me to do so).  I'm running LFS (Linux From Scratch) on an AMD 900Mhz with kernel 2.4.16.  I compiled AutoFS4 support into the kernel.  I use standard SysVinit and the usual /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc?.d/ directory structure.
 
Also, I tried autofs-3.1.7 first and it didn't work.  The script ran and nothing spit out any errors, but automount didn't show up in 'ps ax'.  And automounting wasn't working.  Fortunately version 4 works.
 
Hope this helps.
