Package: autofs-ldap (4.1.4-13)

LDAP map support for autofs

Autofs controls the operation of the automount daemons. The automount daemons automatically mount filesystems when they are used and unmount them after a period of inactivity. This is done based on a set of pre-configured maps.

The kernel automounter implements an almost complete SunOS style automounter under Linux. Automounter version 4 (autofs4) has to be enabled when compiling the kernel. Debian packaged kernels have it enabled.

This package provides support for LDAP queries in autofs so that you can use automount maps stored on an LDAP server.
