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"
