Hi Rich,

Where are you setting the ldap server?  I have my ldap config in 
/etc/ldap.conf.  when  i start autofs with the following map in /etc/auto.master:

/home   ldap:ou=auto.home,dc=it,dc=ou,dc=edu

i see the following in my debug file:

Aug  7 08:58:35 leech automount[11991]: master_do_mount: mounting /home
Aug  7 08:58:35 leech automount[11991]: lookup_nss_read_map: reading map ldap 
ou=auto.home,dc=it,dc=ou,dc=edu
Aug  7 08:58:35 leech automount[11991]: parse_server_string: lookup(ldap): 
Attempting to parse LDAP information from string 
"ou=auto.home,dc=it,dc=ou,dc=edu".
Aug  7 08:58:35 leech automount[11991]: parse_server_string: lookup(ldap): 
server "(default)", base dn "ou=auto.home,dc=it,dc=ou,dc=edu"

.....

Aug  7 09:24:34 leech automount[3283]: lookup_init: lookup(ldap): cannot 
connect to server

not sure where to specify default server.  in this case, for replication, i 
guess a list of servers.  in ldap.conf i have:

uri ldaps://serve0 ldaps://serve1

so i am not sure that autofs will handle the ssl connections.

this would be really useful to get working so that the mounts have some 
failover potential.

ideas / suggestions?

tia
