Just point me in the direction of the patches. So, the autofs branch is here: https://github.com/trasz/autofs. Directory services integration is done by external executable, which is usually a shell script. There is an LDAP example, at etc/autofs/include_ldap. Script to integrate with other services (which would be include_nis or include_hesiod) needs to do the same - retrieve the map named at the command line and output it to stdout, in a proper format. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

A new automounter is being developed to address these concerns. The automounter is a cleanroom implementation of functionality available in most other Unix systems, using proper kernel support implemented via an autofs filesystem. The automounter supports a standard map format, and will integrate with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service. >>> >>> Will it also integrate with NIS (as SunOS and Solaris do)?

FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report - Second Quarter 2014
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 FreeBSD Project Quarterly Status Report: April - June 2014 This report covers FreeBSD-related projects between April and June 2014. This is the second of four reports planned for 2014. The second quarter of 2014 was a very busy and productive time for the FreeBSD Project. A new FreeBSD Core Team was elected, the FreeBSD Ports Management Team branched the second quarterly "stable" branch, the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team was in the process of finalizing the FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE cycle, and many exciting new features have been added to FreeBSD. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report contains 24 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it. The deadline for submissions covering the period from July to September 2014 is October 7th, 2014. __ FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Core Team * FreeBSD Port Management Team * FreeBSD Release Engineering Team Projects * Chelsio iSCSI Offload Support * CUSE4BSD * FreeBSD and Summer of Code 2014 * New Automounter * pkg(8) * QEMU bsd-user-Enabled Ports Building * RPC/NFS and CTL/iSCSI Performance Optimizations * ZFSguru Kernel * PostgreSQL Performance Improvements * Running FreeBSD as an Application on Top of the Fiasco.OC Microkernel * SDIO Driver * TMPFS Stability * UEFI Boot * Updated vt(4) System Console Architectures * FreeBSD/arm64 Ports * FreeBSD Python Ports * KDE/FreeBSD * The Graphics Stack on FreeBSD Documentation * Quarterly Status Reports Miscellaneous * FreeBSD Host Support for OpenStack and OpenContrail * The FreeBSD Foundation __ FreeBSD Core Team Contact: FreeBSD Core Team The FreeBSD Core Team constitutes the project's "Board of Directors", responsible for deciding the project's overall goals and direction as well as managing specific areas of the FreeBSD project landscape. Topics for core this quarter have included some far-reaching policy reviews and some significant changes to the project development methodology. In May, a new release policy was published and presented at the BSDCan developer conference by John Baldwin. The idea is that each major release branch (for example, 10.X) is guaranteed to be supported for at least five years, but individual point releases on each branch, like 10.0-RELEASE, will be issued at regular intervals and only the latest point release will be supported. Another significant change did not receive approval. When the change to the Bylaws reforming the core team election process was put to the vote of all FreeBSD developers, it failed to reach a quorum. June saw the culmination of a long running project to replace the project's bug tracking system. As of June 3, the FreeBSD project has switched to Bugzilla as its bug tracking system. All of the history of GNATS PRs has been preserved, so there is no need to re-open old tickets. Work is still going on to replicate some of the integration tweaks that had been applied to GNATS, but all necessary functionality has been implemented and the project is already seeing the benefits of the new capabilities brought by Bugzilla. An election to select core members for the next two year term of office took place during this period. We would like to thank retiring members of core for their years of service. The new core team provides continuity with previous core teams: about half are incumbents from the previous team, and several former core team members have returned after a hiatus. Core now includes two members of the FreeBSD Foundation board and one other Foundation staff member, aiding greater coordination at the top level of the project. At the same time the core-secretary role was passed on to a new volunteer. Other activities included providing consultation on licensing terms for software within the FreeBSD source tree, and oversight of changes to the membership of postmaster and clusteradm. Three new src commit bits were issued during this quarter, and one was taken into safekeeping. __ FreeBSD Port Management Team URL: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ URL: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing-ports/ URL: http://portsmon.freebsd.org/index.html URL: http://www.freebsd.org/portmgr/index.html URL: http://blogs.freebsdish.org/portmgr/ URL: http://www.twitter.com/freebsd_portmgr/ URL: http://www.facebook.com/portmgr URL: http://plus.google.com/communities/108335846196454338383 Contact: Frederic Culot Contact: FreeBSD Port Management Team The ports tr
