Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)
[raven@fc6 ~]$ rpm -q autofs
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.16

* Sun Feb 11 2007 Ian Kent <ikent@redhat.com> - 5.0.1-0.rc3.16
- update the "task done race" patch to fix a deadlock.

* Wed Feb 07 2007 Ian Kent <ikent@redhat.com> - 5.0.1-0.rc3.14

- check fqdn of each interface when matching export access list (bz 213700).
[raven@fc6 ~]$
