Hi,

I am using autofs w/ nfs and yp/nis maps.

After having upgraded to FC3 I am finding /.autofs files on all FC3
machines, I haven't notice with earlier versions of RH/FC.

What is generating them?
What are they used for?
How to get rid of them?



The .autofsk file is used only if you send the shutdown -F command to those machines. The file itself is 'harmless' and should not be deleted if you plan on shutting down your systems to have a fsck performed on startup automatically. The contents of the file is either the number 0 or 1 (no or yes) and could be set by a custom built program, but this is not recommended results cannot be guaranteed.
