Yes.  Restarting autofs daemon causes it to reconnect to the ldap server, 
and all automounts work properly at that point.

I tried, but I got not additional useful information out of the automounter. 
Basically, it says that it failed to connect to ldap server, and never 
retries.  But nothing particularly more useful (to me at least) there.

Any ideas of lists or groups that I can try otherwise?  I've tried posting 
to the kernel.autofs mailing list, but for some reason my posts never make 
it on.  I even tried mailing the list admins but got no response back from 
them either.

Thanks,

Eric
