Actually this is an LDAP mixed environment with solaris and linux. The
Solaris Automounter will look for %Java by default to ignore
case-sensitivity. Is there an option on autofs5 to take the first entry
for a key in case there are duplicate entries? if so, how is it done? i am
seriously in need of some kind of workaround. is there any possibility?

thx a lot.
