[389-users] Conflicting documentation for RHEL/CentOS 5.x configuration

Hi,

I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, so if this belongs
more on another list, please let me know.

I am trying to get Autofs configured to use LDAP on CentOS5.3, but am 
running into an inconsitency.  On CentOS5.3, the openldap server is 
installed with  an extra schema/redhat/autofs.schema file.  From what I can 
tell, that schema
file seems to follow RFC2307bis.  In the schema, it uses cn and ou. However, 
in all docs I can find for RHEL5, everything indicates that I  should be 
using automountMapName and automountKey as the Map attribute and the
Entry Attribute.

I am very confused.  Which is the "right" one to use?  If I follow the RHEL
docs and tell autofs to use MAP_ATTRIBUTE as automountMapName, then I can't
use the schema that is distributed with CentOS5.3.

Should I be using the schema that is distributed with the RHEL/CentOS 
openLdap
package, or is there another one that I should be using instead?

Right now, the openldap-servers package that is installed is 
openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5.

Thanks,

Eric
