I'm setting up autofs in ldap, i.e. I'm not using the /etc/auto.*
files at all. Now, I'm wondering how to change the distinguished name
of auto.master in the database. It seems all examples use the
following structure for the entry:

dn: ou=auto.master,dc=mydom,dc=com
ou: auto.master
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap

I grepped the archives to see if it is possible to specify some
options for this in nsswitch.conf, but couldn't find anything. So how
would I go about changing the dn of the auto.master (and the rest of
the auto.* entries) so that they recide under ou=system? Maybe that
is something I don't want to do?

regards,
sven
