DOH!
Sorry, I stopped reading early.
Poking around in the autofs userspace package, it looks like the
daemon tells the kernel the max version of autofs it knows how to
talk(AUTOFS_MAX_PROTO_VERSION) which is set to 4. So if both are built
in it should use v4. Is that not the behavior you're seeing?
Anyway /usr/share/doc/autofs/README.Debian says,
"You will need to have the AUTOFS4 filesystem compiled as a module for
your kernel."
Is there any reason to have the compiled in? (I guess you could ask
if there's any reason to _not_ have these compiled in, but I'm not
in that camp)
Sorry for the mix-up, HTH.
