If there were a way for amd to work with autofs4, that'd be great, but it doesn't. But the autofs4 module should be able to be used for autofs kernel protocol version 3. It may require some changes in user space and, since the v3 protocol in autofs4 hasn't been tested for so long, there may be some other bugs that need fixing. Problem is that amd I believe specifically looks for autofs3 (even though the code says minimum autofs version 3, it fails to work with autofs4). And since no one is responding to the bug I put in about that, and the last time code was released for amd was in 2005, amd using autofs on the current F14 kernel seems to dead. I'll grab the amd source and have a quick look. Where is the right place to get it? It looks like amd should work with autofs protocol version v4. You should also try modprobe autofs4 before starting amd and see what happens. Ian ___ autofs mailing list autofs@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
