A new automounter is being developed to address these concerns. + + The automounter is a cleanroom implementation of functionality available in most other Unix systems, using proper kernel support implemented via an autofs filesystem. The automounter supports a standard map format, and will integrate with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service. + + The code is ready to use - it has been committed to 11-CURRENT and 10-STABLE, and will ship as part of 10.1-RELEASE. There is ongoing work on improving performance and fixing possible bugs. + </p> + </body> + + <sponsor> + The FreeBSD Foundation + </sponsor> + + <help></help> +</project> + </report>
