Will do Jeff.  Just to cut some time out how can i generate the debug log?  In 
/etc/sysconfig/autofs, i have set:

LOGGING="debug"
and
OPTIONS="-v"

but that seems to only increase the noise in /var/log/messages a little.

i do have the following installed:

autofs-5.0.1-20
autofs-debuginfo-5.0.1-20

and by the way, i am building those from source rpms. before i actually do an 
rpmbuild i run a patch that Ian had sent me.  it fixes a syntax issue when you 
have a dc that is named ou.  after the last updates it quit working, so i 
grabbed the src.rpm and rebuilt again.  i guess the patch hasn't made into the 
repos yet.

thanks again
