Hi,
I've searched the net but have been unable to find any answers -
apologies if this question is misdirected, but I'm stuck.
I have a box running what seems to be a very broken version of RedHat
5.2/AXP. It is acting as a NIS server, and contains the following:
/etc/auto.master:
/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout 60
/home /etc/auto.home --timeout 60
/net /etc/auto.net --timeout 60
/etc/auto.home:
* -fstype=auto,soft,intr spanky:/home/&
/etc/exports:
/home 192.168.68.0/255.255.255.0(rw) *.aet-usa.com(rw)
The client machine is running Debian/i386 unstable.
llama:~# ypcat auto.home
-fstype=auto,soft,intr spanky:/home/&
llama:~# /etc/init.d/autofs status
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /home yp /etc/auto.home
/usr/sbin/automount /net yp /etc/auto.net
/usr/sbin/automount /misc yp /etc/auto.misc
Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /home yp /etc/auto.home
/usr/sbin/automount /net yp /etc/auto.net
/usr/sbin/automount /misc yp /etc/auto.misc
llama:~# ls -la /home/ccurtis
ls: /home/ccurtis: No such file or directory

>From all the documentation I've read, I'm doing things correctly. The
/etc/auto.home and ypcat auto.home discrepencies can be "corrected" for
by placing a space before the "*", but the end result is the same.
Likewise, replacing the "*" with "ccurtis" (same yp problem) or "
ccurtis" and changing the "&" to "ccurtis" results in the same error.
I haven't found anyone else with the problem or how to go about fixing
it.
Many thanks to anyone who can help,
Christopher
