I'm aware of this and I'm working on it right now.
There will be some change to this though.
When I send out the update for this you will need to add the line
+auto.master to /etc/auto.master if one exists (that will work with the
version you have). If it doesn't exist then autofs will use nsswitch to
locate the map. NIS is usually listed in nsswitch by default.
Additionally, the default master map that will be installed will now
include the +auto.master line. So if you've removed your auto.master
because you don't use it and the default one is installed it will still
read the NIS master map.
Can you tell me how your master map is setup please.
$ ypcat -k auto.master
/home auto.home --timeout 60
$ ypcat -k auto.home
* -udp,hard,intr myserver:/home/&
The server is running a really old Linux that pre-dates NFS use of
tcp, hence the udp option.
Thanks for looking into it.
