Hi folks [ debian-devel: please Cc answers to the autofs list, I'm not subscribed ] The new autofs 4.1.3 packages are coming along nicely, I'm letting it in experimental until my next release to make shure we won't end up with major errors from me in sarge. Please try it out if you're interested in it. Since I hardly know LDAP I need some advice on the way I should fetch master maps from LDAP. Debian autofs 3*-4.0.0pre10 packages (current unstable) do this with ldapsearch. Now in 4.1.3 upstream has integrated a dedicated tool "autofs-ldap-auto-master" from RH for this purpose. Now I'm unsure which of the two is the Right Thing. Further, does autofs-ldap-auto-master merge LDIF continued lines? (which was an issue before) How is autofs-ldap-auto-master told where to query and what DN to bind to? (authentication?) Debian offered variables for this in /etc/defaults/autofs before, and I'd prefer not to break this wrt our current stable release. You can fetch binary and source packages from http://packages.debian.org/experimental/utils/autofs In the root of the source package there are still the patches sitting which implemented LDAP master map support in stable, they are named: 043_nsswitch_and_auto.master_in_ldap # nsswitch supported already 044_handle_ldif_continued_lines_in_init_script Thanks in advance, 2ri -- Secure email, spread GPG, clearsign all mail. http://www.gnupg.org .
