I'm in a large heterogeneous environment located across multiple locations. I use NIS maps such as:

With AIX and Solaris, automounter chooses the server with the fewest
hops to determine which server to mount from. Unfortunately, it appears
Suse's 8.1 implementation of automounter (v3.1.7-556) seems to choose the first listed.



Sorry, SuSE have chosen not to update to autofs v4.

The most recent version handles this.

You may wish to try building the SRPM from one of the FC distributions.

I ASSuMEd compiling it from source (4.1.3) would be even "cleaner", but when I see that /etc/init.d/autofs has:
if [ -f /etc/debian_version ]; then
system=debian
elif [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
system=redhat
else
echo "$0: Unknown system, please port and contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]" 1>&2
exit 1
fi


Why is the source so restrictive?

Moving on to the FC SRPM.
