I have a puzzling problem.  When I start the autofs
service on a client, the local /var/log/messages file shows:

Sep 29 13:41:34 clonehost2 autofs: automount startup succeeded Sep 29 13:41:34 clonehost2 automount[10732]: failed to load map, exiting

- automount processes are all running, but
On the server side, I get ' rpc.mountd: getfh failed: Operation not permitted'.

Here's the output of `ypcat -k auto.master`
/server/homes server.homes
/server/File_Access auto.file_access
/auto/data auto.data
/auto/bitsrus auto.bitsrus
/nfs auto.hosts  

** The automounter manages to mount these maps just fine!

and `ypcat -k server.homes`
svr_homes -rw,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14  svr:/vol3/server_homes

** This is the one that fails.
Manually mounting this fails as well.

This system is one of 3 clones.  2 of these machines work just
fine. I built the first of 3 machine with RedHat 3 AS 64bit
linux.  I then used dd to clone that disk to the other
two disks.  Thus, each machine started life as a clone of
the first.  We assign static IP addresses, so each machine
had to be made unique.  We are using NIS to authenticate
logins and to push automounter maps.  Home directories and
other files are managed via a fileserver and are served up
via automounter - one map for Home directories, everything
else from other automounter map files.
 
This fileserver has been in production for years, and in
use 24x7x36N.  Playing with the exports on that machine
is out of the question, and should be irrelevant given
that the sibling machines and 100+ other machines work
fine getting this mount point from this fileserver.

This problem has led me to re-install nfs, automounter,
and other packages on the affected machine.  No progress.
I've switched network interfaces (eth1, eth2), but no
change.  I've cleared arp caches, changed IP addresses,
and I still cannot figure this out.  Any help would be
appreciated.
