Hi, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction in regard to getting automounts working via LDAP-distributed automountMap-style maps?
We are already using automountMap-style maps distributed via LDAP for a few thousand Linux, Mac and SunOS clients and I'd like to be able to use the same maps for my FreeBSD machines too, but I can't seem to find any clear documentation on how to set this up. I've Googled lots of different things - the word "FreeBSD" with "autofo", "autmount", "automountMap", etc. I've found lots of stuff about amd, but amd does not appear to support automountMap-style maps. I also found a mount_autofs in /usr/src/sbin/mount_autofs, but that appears to not be installed by default, and when manually compiled it's non-functional. I did find one reference to someone that ported autofs to FreeBSD, but then was asked by Apple to take his code down. Please note that we're -not- talking about older NIS-style maps. We -were- using them for our Linux, Mac and SunOS clients until recently, and have been switching over to the newer automountMap style for a while now. I'm having a hard time believing that FreeBSD is the only UNIX-like OS that seems to be lacking this sort of autofs support. Is that really the case?
