Hi Jeff, 

This didn't work on RHEL4 U4.

It again skipped mounting the remote LDAP NFS map.

It is clobbering the two NFS exports sharing /home

I noticed you made a patch this month for LDAP and automount, that seems
to be what I'm trying to do.

basically, If my nssswitch.conf has:   automount: files ldap

Automount should respect *both* file and LDAP automounts. Right now only one is 
expected Even If I use the option you mentioned below.

Thanks, 
Shawn.

For some reason, I can't find your original post in my mailbox...

For the RHEL variants, add this to your /etc/sysconfig/autofs

ONE_AUTO_MASTER=1

Yes, but in the v5 case no special settings are necessary.
