Hi folks,

Apologies for missing the meeting, I had to take my wife to
the doctor.  I am also going to miss the BAT, but we will
have the Solaris FedFS prototype code there for testing.
The bits we had last time are updated to draft-05 of the
admin spec and draft-09 of the NSDB spec.

I appear to have some modifications to the Solaris automounter
which work to do the DNS query and mount a FedFS namespace root.
They will be part of what we bring to the BAT.  I can send along
a sample DNS server setup, as well.

Should this not be FEDFS_ERR_LDAP_REFERRAL?
