Howdy,

No one here knows who I am, or what my involvement in autofs is, so let me
please introduce myself :)

I've been asked (by Sun, see my .sig) to make autofs on Linux work better
with Solaris.  Primarily, that means making sure a Linux box can come up
inside a Solaris environment without barfing, without gross workarounds, and
with usable functionality.  Further, we have the goal of passing Sun's
autofs test suites. :)

We are building up our laundry list of problems, and trying to devise our
plan for how they can all be worked out.  It's great to see activity on a
lot of the same fronts, here.  Direct mounts, nested mounts, proper NIS and
LDAP and nsswitch.  These are just a few of the items we're looking at.

We're still waiting for Sun to clear us on releasing what we've been working
on, but as soon as that goes through, you'll be hearing a lot more from us.
In the meantime, I have a lot of catching up to do, it seems :)

Tim
