Hello Oliver, AutoFS 5 won't work on SLES 9 because it requires Kernel changes that were not back ported to 2.6.5. The first version of SLES to support AutoFS 5 is SLES 10-SP2. If you really can't upgrade to SLES 10-SP3 or SLES 11-SP1, your best bet is to get autofs-4.1.4 source RPM from SLES 10-SP3 and rebuild it on SLES 9. The problem you reported is most likely already fixed on that version. Hope it helps, Leonardo _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [email protected] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
