Autofs5 was created as it originally allowed to remove a limitation of the numbers of anonymous bind against ldap one could do with autofs4. The rationale of this MIR is that majority of customers will set up autofs5 rather than 4, and that in 9.04 Jaunty we had a situation where autofs4 was in main, but autofs5 was not. This did not give a lot of confidence to customers, and the logic as to why one would be fully supported and not the other was missing.
Autofs5 is definitely not experimental anymore, and is ran in production (one of our customer runs autofs5 with about 20 000 users in production). Also, if we are to look at other Enterprise distros, autofs5 will be default, and autofs4 is also packaged and installable 'just in cases. Hope this helps. -- MIR for autofs5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503036 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
