OK, since the NIS schema isn't case sensitive, right.

I know only what I need to know about LDAP and so I don't know what the
% is supposed to do. Perhaps some of the LDAP folks here can help.

Does it allow LDAP to retain the case sensitivity in a case insensitive
attribute or does Solaris autofs do that bit?
Does the % apply to the whole entry or just the character following it?

Never the less I think it's wrong to allow multiple keys for a mount
entry since the key is supposed to be unique.
