Hello, I am experiencing autofs problems with my Centos 5.5 system. Upon boot, the mount fails with the following error messages (created by passing the -d option in the automount):

When I restart the daemon, the automount works, but fails after a day or two. The version of autofs I am using is: Name : autofs Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 5.0.1 Vendor: CentOS Release : 0.rc2.143.el5_5.6 Any help will be greatly appreciated.
