yes. the Berkley automounter was finally droped
in favour of the kernel autofs system. It's
been in all the 2.2.x kernels. You can sitl get
the older amd though. Grab the RHL 6.2 srpm
am build it with the 7.0 libraries and it should work.
Or learn the autofs configuration.

Check 'man 5 autofs' and 'man auto.master' for details.
