Hi,

I am new to this list, so please forgive my ignorances.
I had a SuSE Pro 9.0 system running autofs (v3) running earlier. The autofs itself did not have any issues at all until I decided to upgrade the system to SuSE 9.3. It was a clean install, and autofs4-4.1.3 became the default kernel autofs module. My autofs master map comes from a OpenLDAP server and it contains 3 different mount maps.
/users (LDAP map)
/protein/users (LDAP map)
/import/users (LDAP map)
I also have a file-based map in this server (/export/users).

Recently I was trying to move a user's home dir from server1 to server2. After moving his home dir and making the relevant changes to his LDAP entry (homeDirectory attribute), I tried to restart autofs in the above-mentioned server. The server already had several users logged in under /protein/users. Though the restart did not complain, I noticed that autofs status showed "Configured mount points" correctly and removed the currently mounted mount points from "Active mount points". Is there a reason why? Also strangely the ownerships of the previously mounted dirs had been changed to root:root.

I have been forced to move back to autofs-3.1.7-904 as this is a production server. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Prakash
