I ran this on 40 clients last evening through our normal regression runs

I should clarify, the mount dropping problem I mentioned in my last message is not specifically related to testing autofs-4.1.2-5 (or any 4.1.2, I think). I've got 4.1.1 rolled out and those systems are the ones dropping mounts, at least at this point in time. My intention is to find a autofs release or set of patches that fixes this behavior sooner rather than later as it is causing problems for my users.


Just for my sanity, can anyone help me confirm the following "facts" about earlier behavior of the autofs-4.1.0pre10 release:

1. NIS maps were not cached by the automounter daemon
2. changes made to the maps and pushed out went into effect immediately, regardless of whether or not the changes were new key/mount entries to an existing map or just changes to existing key/mount pairs withing an existing map.


I also think that it would be nice to have some form of
regressions/tests to help validate.

I think it's time to start developing some. Since Red Hat tests their software before they ship it, maybe they have a suite already in place that they could share? ;)
