I will try to get a step-by-step guide done on Sunday - I'm too busy until
then I'm afraid.  How far have you got? My main stalling points were
realising that I needed to patch autofs - you can get the necessary
patches from http://people.redhat.com/~nalin/autofs. These apply to the
current version of autofs. There is also an autofs.schema in
http://people.redhat.com/~nalin/schema which you will need to include in
your ldap configuration schema file thing.

I did hit some other stumbling points - I'll document them as and when I
remember them...

Hope this helps,

Gareth
