I already did some very cursory testing on a recent 11-CURRENT system that I still happened to have and things with at least the /net map look quite OK. I could do some more extensive testing if I could use some of my 10-STABLE systems. I already checked that the patch applies cleanly to a recent 10-STABLE (modulo a few offsets) and that both buildworld and buildkernel succeed. Should I expect difficulties actually running your autofs on 10-STABLE? And do you plan support for NIS? I know NIS is quite dead and has been so for at least 20 years, but I still see it being used occasionally (probably most out of habit) and it is (still ?) available in the base-system. Kind regards, Hans
