First thanks to Ian for providing valuable info for arrving at this conclusion.
What happened? There is old autofs4 module which supported autofs4 protocol. Autofs team developed new autofs5 protocol but new module given name as autofs4. So this is where the problem is. New module is backward compatible with autofs4 protcol and also supports autofs5 but with the name 'autofs4'. Everything ok but with the autofs headers. What can be done? Until this is resolved, just compile autodir with old /usr/src/linux/auto_fs4.h and everthing should work fine. That is the reason older autodir compiled with older header file working fine with new kernel module autofs4 (which is autofs5) Since I do not have access to new autofs module on my Fedora, the testing is going fine -- which is compiled with older autofs module. And I can not say 100% sure about. (as I said I do not have access to the latest module and I can not confirm it myself doing tests). Regards ramana --- "Francesco P.
