As you will see, the only entries in our LDAP automount maps are those we need all the time (/home/{users,groups,projects}) on most machines (the ones people need to be sure of, so we can modify the LDAP automount entries and be sure each machine will use the correct share on next access), I have done no configuration on /net and /misc (just using the default auto.master, auto.net, auto.misc - LDAP stuff is picked up automagically without *any* configuration besides that done during installation for LDAP auth).
I can browse any machine our firewall will let me use NFS/portmap to ...
We aren't a "big unix shop" (we have more Windows boxen), but I still haven't seen anything am-utils can do that autofs can't.

Thanks for the kick in the pants. Looks like autofs can do what I need. Looks like this "feature" slipped in during 9.0 (or 8.2) and I didn't notice.
Now if only autofs would support direct mounts we'd be another step closer to Solaris... ;)
