Not knowing what XXXX is there is no way to tell if there is a newer version.

You might do a google for that RPM.

HI Gogalthorp,

Thanks for your concern , the rpm we are using is autofs-4.1.3.lmw4-2.rpm

I found this for 5.0.1


Autofs 5.0.1 rpm Fedora Core 6

Of course I have no idea if it will work with your kernel.
