As I said previously, because this is quite hard. The maps need to be changed by the login process. We currently do this in the PAM configuration. Given that we can have multiple log in at the same time this means we need to do a lot of careful locking. Ideally we would do something like include all the files from a configuration directory and have a HUP get it to re-read all these configuration snippets. This would be a relatively involved change however. Please do remember where we came in though - we have our needs, which is our problem. You have a bug/DOS which we identified whilst looking for a reason that something had broken between OpenSUSE 10.2 and OpenSUSE 10.3. Clearly we are going to hope that when you fix your bug we can backport the solution and solve our problem. If we can't we can't, and we will work around whatever issues we have left. > Ian Julian -- Julian King Computer Officer, University of Cambridge, Unix Support _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
