I'm working on it and hope to submit my changes within a week. Hopefully I'll get something into the kernel. In fact, I don't have a 2.6 environment other than what I use to test at home so volenteers are needed for testing.

The 4.1.0 betas contain an init script which checks and loads the autofs4 kernel module first (ie. before autofs) so this shouldn't be needed however it can't hurt. -- ,-._|\ Ian Kent / \ Perth, Western Australia *_.--._/ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] v Web: http://themaw.net/ _______________________________________________ autofs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/autofs
