Ian,


All of these improvements you've made are very attractive to me, and my work group. We support a heavily mixed Sun + Linux +*x environment, and we've had use trickery to support direct maps, in particular. I would also like to see new bug reduced versions rolled out periodically so that we could get the autofs 4 included in all of the major Linux distros. If you can and want to lead this effort, I'm behind you 100%.

Thanks for offering to take this on.

Jon

Hi all,

I would like to raise the autofs v4 maintainer question again.

This package has not been actively maintained by Jeremy for a long time now and so I would like to take on the role of maintainer. I have mailed Jeremy to discuss this but have had no reply so I am appealing to the list for support.

I have been working on v4 for the last couple of years and have managed to implement some important improvements. These are the ability of the daemon to understand direct mount maps for file and NIS sources (with LDAP to come soon) and browseable autofs directory structure (aka ghosting with late mounting).

Comments please.
