Sorry I did not include all the information. We are using a modified RHEL 3 update 7. The kernel is 2.4.21-46.Elsmp, autofs is autofs-4.1.3-184, and we are using autofs v4. The customer constraints are such that any change to the build is quite time consuming. I will look into v5, but are any of the options possible for this configuration?

You don't mention anywhere what version of autofs you are using, or under what kernel. There is a chance you can get this to work with v4, if you use the rhel4 packages from my people page: http://people.redhat.com/jmoyer/autofs/rhel4/ These are only test packages, so the "may eat your data" disclaimer applies. Once I've put the patches through the proper testing, I'll of course submit them for 4.1. However, the right way to move forward is to test out autofs v5. -Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
