I think this will need thought wrt what distros use which directories. Perhaps some work on configure to make it happen right and at least a deal of work on the init script. My question is "can we try to do this in a reasonably distribution independent manner". Having each distro carry its own patches is one way to identify the needs. The reason I piped up here is that I have a crazy idea that it would be good to be able to use autofs in a range of distributions. Not just RedHat and Debian as it is now in the init script. But I'm not sure how I can do that yet. A seperate configuration, such as is used in Linux, is not available with the Solaris automounter.
