SuSE Linux 7.1
autofs-4.0.0pre9-12
ypbind-1.7-8
yp-tools-2.4-6

The manual pages weren't any help at all. But your guess was correct. I
had to change my auto.master file from:

- auto.master:
xcnlm00s:/etc # cat auto.master
/home   /etc/auto.home
/misc   /etc/auto.misc

to:

- auto.master:
xcnlm00s:/etc # cat auto.master
/home   auto.home
/misc   auto.misc

Now it works. Think some examples for NIS should find there way into the
manual page...
