I am implementing browsing in autofs working from a suggestion you made some time ago. I have had fairly good results by implementing the vfs readdir function in the autofs4 kernel module and the corresponding changes in the daemon. This has been based on autofs 4.0.0 pre10 against the 2.4 kernel. Any other suggestions? Any thoughts on how (problem) maps might be enumerated? Any idea what has happened to Jeremy? There have been no updates to autofs 4.0.0 for maybe a year and a half. How can we get rid of the pre label on autofs 4.0.0? Regards Ian Kent
