I apologize if this is the wrong place for this, but my Googling has come up empty and I find myself at a loss.

In our enviroment we do automounts based on the OSNAME and OSREL variables. With autofs4 and the sun automounter we manually specify the values of OSNAME and OSREL in the init scripts. In the autofs4 init.d script there is a line for 'localoptions' where I can set '-DOSNAME=name -DOSREL=rel'. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to set this with an autofs5 init script. The init script specifies a confdir and the autofs file there. I tried adding 'OPTIONS="-DOSNAME=name -DOSREL=rel"' to that line, and the automountd process started with those correct flags, but then it wasn't able to mount anything from my automount maps. I also tried using LOCALOPTIONS instead of OPTIONS and that didn't do anything.

So I'm stuck. Is there documentation somewhere on the configuration options I can pass to the init script? Is what I'm trying to do possible anymore with autofs5

Thanks for the help,
