Since I've taken over the package, the main pain points I've

using the Linux automounter in mixed environments. Customers expect it to

intended to bring the Linux automounter semantically closer to the
bahaviour of the Sun automounter. Since you are having problems with it, I
will revert the change until such time as I implement the +auto_master
syntax in the master map. Is this an acceptable solution? I'd prefer to
not add another tunable to /etc/sysconfig/autofs, but I will if I must.
I'm happy so long as the default behaviour doesn't change. Having a
tunable to configure it to behave like Solaris seems reasonable to me,
FWIW.
