There haven't been many changes since beta1. For more information look at the CHANGELOG in the distribution. There are still a few problems that I'm aware of such as: - the init script for Debian and Gentoo works better but still ins't handling the reload option completely. - the bug with the selection of the default map type when using submounts still hasn't been resolved. So let me know when you find more and I'll fix`em as quick as I can! The distribution can be found at the usual place at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v4 in the tars autofs-4.1.4_beta2.tar.[gz|bz2] also there is a tarball called: autofs-4.1.4-beta2-deb.tar.[gz|bz2] that can be used to build binary debs (see below). It is possible to build packages for testing from the distribution. I'm not the maintainer of any of these distribution packages so please be aware that this is for convenience and testing. To build an rpm package use: rpmbuild -tb autofs-4.1.4_beta2.tar.gz and the binary rpms will end up in the usual location. To merge the package into Gentoo use: tar zxf autofs-4.1.4_beta2.tar.gz cd autofs-4.1.4_beta2/gentoo export PORTDIR_OVERLAY=`pwd` ebuild net-fs/autofs/autofs-4.1.4_beta2.ebuild digest ebuild net-fs/autofs/autofs-4.1.4_beta2.ebuild clean install ebuild net-fs/autofs/autofs-4.1.4_beta2.ebuild qmerge unset PORTDIR_OVERLAY To build binary debs for Debian download the tar refered to above and: tar zxvf autofs-4.1.4-beta2-deb.tar.gz dpkg-source -x autofs_4.1.4-beta2-1.dsc cd autofs-4.1.4-beta2 dpkg-buildpackage -b and the binary debs will be placed in the directory the tar was unpacked. Hopefuly this will help with the testing Ian
