Re: autofs and linux client - wierdness

Thanks for the reply Andrea... yes I already have allow bind_v2 and
allow bind_anon_dn. autofs binds anonymously while it searches for the
automount maps, when it finds them it trys to bind _as the dn of the
map_ with no password.

Do you have this working then?
