The Autofs code is completely right. The problem I'm seeing is being caused by startproc, a wrapper to start daemons that some distros (like openSUSE) use. Applying the following pseudo-patch in the initscript makes everything work as it should: - /sbin/startproc $DAEMON $AUTOFS_OPTIONS + $DAEMON $AUTOFS_OPTIONS Ian and Jeff, thanks for the help and sorry for the noise. Michael, with luck this will be a valid workaround for you too!
