I hope this will save someone else some hours. If you had automount maps on RedHat 8 or 9 and have switched to Fedora, you'll find they no longer work. The fix is to explicitly include the LDAP server name in automountInformation. That is, your LDIF file should contain automountInformation:ldap:ldaphost.your.domain.com:ou=auto.home,dc=your,dc=domain,dc=com instead of the simpler automountInformation:ldap:ou=auto.home,dc=your,dc=domain,dc=com I filed a Bugzilla bug about this at RedHat. -- Stephen Walton <stephen.walton@xxxxxxxx> Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge
