This looks okay to me, at first glance.

Well, for that problem we may need debug logs, but let's sort out your
issue with reading the master map from LDAP, first.

syedk> I have changed the entry AUTOMOUNT:LDAP in /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

Every time you type this in, you change the case.  Make sure that
nsswitch.conf reads:

automount: ldap

It should all be lower-case, as otherwise the init script will not match
it.  If it is lower-case, then please send along the output from:
  "sh -x /etc/init.d/autofs start"

It may also be useful to see the output from:
   /usr/lib[64]/autofs/autofs-ldap-auto-master

Thanks,

Jeff
