Nov 21 16:31:04 rocksfe1 automount[10044]: nsswitch: couldn't find map auto.home
Nov 21 16:31:04 rocksfe1 automount[10044]: lookup(ldap): query failed for 
(objectclass=nisObject)
Nov 21 16:31:04 rocksfe1 automount[10044]: lookup(ldap): query failed for 
(objectclass=automount)

It seems it can't find what the automount is, yet I'm not sure why its not able 
to find 
the automount maps (ignoring NIS objects which I don't have)

My nsswitch.conf has files only since multi:file would also check a remote ldap 
for its auto.home LDAP entry.

# ldapsearch -x "(&(objectclass=automount))"

# base <> with scope sub
# filter: (&(objectclass=automount))
