Chris, Ian,

I don't chime in here very often, and I know this is now more or less working, but the obvious question to me is, since both the thin client and server are running Linux/Unix, why not use the more native NFS?  Perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

Hi Ian,

      
Versions?

        
4.1.3-9

      
Perhaps you need to use ://thinclient_ip/fd
        
So, do you suggest I upgrade?
      
Only if you can solve the problems you face. Certainly not without plenty
of testing.

    
When might 4.1.4 be available for debian testing?
      
I guess that will depend on the Debian folks.
I'm hoping they will push 4.1.4 into the Debian tree fairly soon after it
is released. I've tried to get as many fixes into the new version as I could.

    
Should I download the source instead?
      
If you wish to test this out you can download
autofs-4.1.4_beta2-deb.tar.gz which basically contains the files of a
source deb.

As i've said before, this is for testing only as I'm not the maintainer of
the Debian package.

If you do try this make sure you stop autofs before installing the deb.

Ian
