Goal of this project was to implement a new automounter, with Sun (as opposed to amd(8%%))%% map syntax, proper kernel support, and LDAP integration.  It's very similar to what's available in OS X, Solaris, or Linux.  Slides describing the design are here: http://people.freebsd.org/~trasz/autofs.pdf.  GitHub repo: https://github.com/trasz/autofs.

The code was committed to 11-CURRENT in August 2014 and shipped in 10.1-RELEASE.  Some enhancements, such as mounting removable media, are still being worked on.

This project is sponsored by the %%FreeBSD%% Foundation.
