That's depressing.
I wish someone would put some new life into this project.
Peter Anvin seems to be the likely canidate.
He has mentioned a few times that autofs5 is waiting on Viro (Al Viro?) to give him
the hooks he needs.... presumeably in the kernel.
I'm curious to know just what hooks are needed, and what their status is. Is Viro even
working on them?
