I changed recently fom RH6.1 to SUSE6.3 and try to get the automount
going again. No problems to automount floppy and cdrom.
In RH6.1 I used the amd to soft mount the exported partitions from the
Solaris hosts. I never had to configure it , because it work straight
after the install.
In SuSE 6.3 I try to do the same using autofs. I followed the
information given in the Automounter HOWTO, but it doesn't work.
I tried too some changes to the auto.net file from information found on
Deja, but this gave me only the servers names in the /net directory.
I installed amd and it worked ok, but I would prefer to stay with autofs.
Following are the configs and error messages:
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file

The hostnames are in the hosts file and the shares can be mounted
manually. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks and Regards,
Horst Simon
