Hi All, Sorry for the top post but I wanted to put the solution first... It turns out that I need to lay off the crack pipe a little bit. As soon as I added --ghost to the correct place everything started working fine. This was a little frustrating as everything that I found on the Net seemed to indicate that the --ghost option goes in the wrong place. Example: I WAS trying combinations of this, which doesn't work. dn: cn=internal,ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com cn: internal objectClass: automount automountInformation: -soft,intr,nodev,tcp,ro nfs.example.com:/var/qa --ghost It works just fine when you add it here: dn: cn=/software,ou=auto.master,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: automount cn: /software automountInformation: ldap:qapxe.qa.mxlogic.com:ou=auto.software,dc=corp,dc=example,dc=com --ghost I apologize for wasting everyones time, Brian On Tue, 2009-01-13 at 17:53 -0700, Brian Kosick wrote: > Hrrrm thanks, > > I believe that it is an unresolved bug, based on the info regarding this > issue that I've already found via google.... > > It looks like the autofs author back in 2006 came _real close_ to > looking into this, but a workaround seemed to have put this issue back > into the deep dark corners of his mind.
