Sounds great, I am running autofs-4.1.0 on two test machines and have
not encountered any problems yet.  The test machines are RH 7.3 with
kernel 2.4.20-24 + autofs4-20031201.  The patch discussed in this thread
is intended to correct the RPC problems yes? (limit of ~800 mountpoints,
etc.)  If it works I feel that it would be a welcome addition to linux
even if it isn't strictly necessary for most people.

I have other machines I can run the new code on, so yes, I can test it
out.  We have more than 800 users so I can break the old code just by
walking down the auto_home map.  Hopefully the new code will be able to
handle more mounts and at greater speed without failing... =20
