Not yet. The reason this has not been done so far is that the messages from the kernel that request actions need to be a predefined length to maintain compatability with older versions of autofs. The current message structure doesn't have any user information and so this cannot be used during the mount. The time that this can change is when the kernel protocol version changes, in this case from version 4 to version 5. I'm currently working on getting an alpha of autofs version 5. Indeed, I've started work on this very issue tonight. Ian _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
