Above I was actually referring to the kernel, although I didn't make that clear. The RHEL-4.8 kernel update fixed almost all reported kernel related problems (there were a couple). > > Would using the "autofs5" package in RHEL4 be better in this sense? Do > you know if that package is as stable as autofs 4 is in RHEL4? That a trick question, right? As the maintainer I will always recommend version 5. The RHEL-4 autofs5 package is essentially the same as the RHEL-5 autofs package except that it's a release behind, as updates are back ported. The back porting of RHEL-5 updates will be somewhat more selective from RHEL-4.9 onward.
