Hi,
A custom complained that:
//<==
In RHEL4 it was possible to set a "basedn" variable in the
/etc/sysconfig/autofs file which served as a basedn for LDAP lookups
performed by the automounter.

However, this has been removed in RHEL5.
//<==
It is true that setting it in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is an alternative, 
the custom doesn't want do as that because /etc/openldap/ldap.conf is 
automatically edited by the redhat config tools authconfig and 
system-config-authentication.
So I want to know for what the basedn is removed from 
/etc/sysconfig/autofs.  I checked all the change logs and readmes in 
autofs-5.0.1, but didn't find basedn metioned.

thanks,
wengang.
