Leopard autofs Openldap and NIS maps.
Ok, I've searched for awhile and I'm not finding what I need to make this happen.
We have an openldap server runing on a linux machine. I am trying to get the apple leopard client to understand the automount maps we have in the ldap tree on the server. I have successfully configured the apple client's user and group settings simply by appending ou=People, to the searchbases of the User and People records and appending ou=Group, for the Groups record on the client. The automount part is much trickier apparently. Like sun apple uses the auto_foo syntax with autofs but unlike sun I can't figure out what the equivalent command to ldapclient is on the apple. Basically we slurped over the NIS maps from nis into ldap so now at the root level of the ldap structure on the ldap server we have:

below is the contents of the local ldap config file that the ldapclient command generates on Solaris machines:

Basically I would like to set +auto_master in the auto_master in /etc and with the correct translations like the suns have, just get my mount info from the ldap server as needed.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
