Uhm.. What's a gal to do then???
AFAIK, there isn't yet a perfect answer, mostly because automount schema
is not standard yet (though rfc2307bis is/was a proposed standard).
If you are only supporting Linux clients, you probably don't need
additional autofs schema. Linux autofs (at least in RedHat/Fedora) will
look for objects with objectclass 'nisObject' when looking up automount
info. This method dates back to the original RFC2307 (non-bis version),
and might make your life easier as long as you don't expect to add
Solaris clients to your environment.
If you are supporting Solaris clients, you WILL need the 2307bis style
automount schema, although Sun's version is NOT identical to the one at
http://people.redhat.com/nalin/schema/autofs.schema.
You can find the Solaris automount schema embedded in their 'idsconfig'
script:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/ldap/ns_ldap/idsconfig.sh
Some more discussions about storing automount info in a directory can be
found at http://www.ldapguru.org, e.g.:
http://www.ldapguru.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=2029&forum=6
Hopefully this will be a lot more straightforward in a few years, but
for now the standard is a work-in-progress.

Have you seen this error before?
It is conflicting with the RFC2307 schema. I don't know how this stuff
perpetuates (and this nonsense is everywhere, I have seen at least two
phony OIDs for this attribute alone) - but the automount attribute in
the linked schema has an OID stolen from RFC2307 and assigned by IANA to
shadowInactive.
Got it. The problem is that the schema above is provided by what looks like a
Redhat employee
which lends some credence to it.
RFC2307bis is the first document to mention automount, and it designates
automount schema thus:
so, should I just use the RFC2307bis schema then? I mean, looks like this RFC
has expired and
there doesn't seem to be a replacement for the autofs attributes and object
classes.
