Any idea why autofs fails to read entries from the included NIS map when

Don't know about the timestamp but there were some included map fixes in
RHEL-5.7, at least one was a fix for a regression.
Versions?
Sorry, I should have said - this is CentOS 5.5 with autofs
5.0.1-0.rc2.143.el5_5.6 - and I've also tried it with
5.0.1-0.rc2.143.el5_6.2 - with the same result.
It is easy to reproduce - with an included NIS map - if I do:
/etc/init.d/autofs stop; date -s "1 minute"; /etc/init.d/autofs start;
date -s "-1 minute"
This creates the automount mount point 1 minute into the future.
Then if I try to access a server defined in the NIS map, the mount fails.
However, if I wait a minute (i.e until the system clock passes the date
stamp of the mount point), the automount of file systems in the NIS map
works fine.
Is it possible to get a copy of the autofs RPM for RHEL-5.7 to test?
Thanks
James Pearson
