Hi Ian, since you asked for documentation on this issue, see the sourcecode of the solaris automounter here:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/pef/phase_I/usr/src/cmd/fs.d/autofs/ns_ldap.c line 976 ++ as can be seen the % apply to the character following. JaVa would be queried for as %Ja%Va. Seems to be the solaris automounter not ldap retaining the case sensitivity. i will try the patch u sent me shortly and report back if it helped. *nail Ian Kent wrote: > On Wed, 2007-07-25 at 09:48 -0500, Wolfe, Allan wrote: >> To add a comment here. . .
