autofs bug report:

Am seeing:

Jul 23 11:06:47 sadl4467 automount[582]: starting automounter version
3.1.3, path = /pr, maptype = yp, mapname = auto.project
Jul 23 11:06:48 sadl4467 automount[545]: >> can't create lock file
/etc/mtab~~: No such file or directory (use -n flag to override)
Jul 23 11:06:48 sadl4467 automount[545]: /pr: mount failed!

Usually, on the first boot after a RH6.0 kickstart, but then never again
on subsequent reboots.  However, on one cranky old notebook, this became
a semi-solid error.  Probably difference may be attributed to pcmcia
networking?

Work around:

Insert "sleep 1" as the first line of each of the "while do" lines in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs.

Also--Both ypbind and autofs are "S93" in RH6.0.  ypbind should start
first, right?  "mv S93autofs S94autofs"

Let me know if additional info needed.
