I thought automount, automountInformation, etc. were the most current 
way to store automount mappings in a directory.  They still appear in 
the RFC2307bis draft:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-howard-rfc2307bis-01.txt

However, it does make sense that they might not be included with FDS 
since RFC2307bis is still a work in progress.

What is the "new netgroups stuff"?

Thanks,
