I set up mailman (2.0.11) on a solaris 2.8 machine and am relatively happy with it. For various reasons, we want the mailman software (and homedir) nfsmounted from elsewhere. Configuring it with a hard nfsmount seems to work well but some here would rather it be automounted.

Does mailman support automount? Is it suggested?

I got it working with automount but on occasion get unexpected results eg webpage unavailable and giving traceback. I'm wondering if this is just a result of my testing (manually unmounting, reconfiguring, remounting) and getting a sort of race condition ie the partition isn't yet available for web access. Anyone?

Thanks
