autofs-4, all are stuck with 3.something :-(
The SuSE Linux distribution comes with autofs version 3 installed
(package autofs), but autofs version 4 is also there (package autofs4).
You only have to deinstall package autofs, install autofs4 and edit
/etc/modules.conf to alias autofs to autofs4 (a commented entry is
already there!).
If autofs is already loaded as a module (lsmod) do a "rmmod autofs" and
"rcautofs restart" and voila, autofs4 is working.
This is true for SuSE 8.1, 8.0 and earlier versions also.
7.2+, perhaps earlier) or about autofs-4 user-space utilities?
If the automounter doesn't support -4, it still can work together with
the autofs4 module (and vice versa BTW)... One would need autofs-4 in
user space
So, autofs version 4 does work on SuSE, a major Linux distribution. :-)
