DOH! Sorry, I stopped reading early. Poking around in the autofs userspace package, it looks like the daemon tells the kernel the max version of autofs it knows how to talk(AUTOFS_MAX_PROTO_VERSION) which is set to 4. So if both are built in it should use v4. Is that not the behavior you're seeing? Anyway /usr/share/doc/autofs/README.Debian says, "You will need to have the AUTOFS4 filesystem compiled as a module for your kernel." Is there any reason to have the compiled in? (I guess you could ask if there's any reason to _not_ have these compiled in, but I'm not in that camp) Sorry for the mix-up, HTH. -- Matt Taggart Linux and Open Source Lab [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hewlett-Packard
