Hi Jeff So automount only checks to see if the maps have changed when it tries to mount a directory? What happens if the map source (NIS, LDAP, etc) is temporarily unreachable? Is that map marked as deleted?

It doesn't actually make sense, and here's why: the automounter won't recognize the update until a mount is triggered. As such, you can just trigger a mount and compare what gets mounted with what you expect. Is there some reason that this won't work for you?
