since mandrake is "sorta similar" to rh ??...
can you manually mount those exported (solaris/sun) dirs on the linux box...
- redhat-6.0 has some rpc(?) incompatibility between sun and rhg-6.0
( needed to put ver=2 into the /etc/vfstab file )
- it also does reverse lookup checking of your host/ip#...
other than that... what does your linux autofs files look like ??
-- yup..mandrake linux is on my to do list...one day
have fun
