The Fedora autofs is very close to the upstream autofs and plus map inclusion and nsswitch integration is not present in version 4. Jeff Moyer has done a lot of work on this and is working to push the RHEL autofs patches upstream now. However, I'm still neck deep in fixing version 5 bugs so it's a bit hard to get an update to version 4 out. I think your only option at the moment is to use the RHEL or CentOS version and exclude autofs from yum updates. > > 'automount' in nsswitch.conf is on 'files nis' in both cases.
