This doesn't concern the daemon or kernel. It is the only topic of
starting script becuse P.Alvin don't want to allow use of "+" in map
(for reason of semantic). But it never mind in your case because the
"good" look of your config should be:

/etc/auto.master:
/home   auto_home
 
That's all, the starting script should recognize use of NIS map.

Indeed, I've modified the starting script to support "+" syntax (it's
totally clean for /etc/auto.master), option -host (/net) and /-
(direct mount, but don't work if it's a program map).
