This is an old revision of the document!

Goal of this project is 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 OSX, 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 will probably be ship as part of 10.1-RELEASE.

This project is sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation.
