All our automount maps are under one dn: ou=automount,ou=lisa,dc=hpcv,dc=sara,dc=nl. If autofs starts it produce a lot of errors:
{{{

The function lookup_read_maste() in modules/lookup_ldap.c use a default scope level:
 * scope = LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE;

if a change it to. The problems are gone:
 * scope = LDAP_SCOPE_ONE;

There is no way to adjust the LDAP scope level in the /etc/default/autofs.  Can there be an option added to adjust the SCOPE level for the master map?
