It depends on which version of autofs4 you are running. The latest versions are able to determine your default search base, but older versions cannot. So, if you want to be compatible across the board, the safest way to construct your ldap entries would be something like the following. Change out the schema for whichever schema you want to use. dn: automountMapName=auto.master,dc=autofs,dc=test objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.master dn: automountKey=/home,automountMapName=auto.master,dc=autofs,dc=test objectClass: automount automountKey: /home automountInformation: ldap: automountmapname=auto.home,dc=autofs,dc=test dn: automountMapName=auto.home,dc=autofs,dc=test objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.home dn: automountKey=/,automountMapName=auto.test,dc=autofs,dc=test objectClass: automount automountKey: / automountInformation: srv1:/export/& Cheers, Jeff _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
