Hello All,

I have been attempting to get autofs5 to work with my ldap config.  The way I 
am set up is:

FC6 / FC7 clients and redhat servers.
auto.home info for each user is stored in ldap
auto.master is stored locally on each client

The mounts do not happen.  Here is what I see when starting autofs:
======
Jul 20 13:22:53 lch automount[3427]: Starting automounter version 5.0.1-11, 
master map auto.master
Jul 20 13:22:53 lch automount[3427]: using kernel protocol version 5.00
Jul 20 13:22:53 lch automount[3427]: master_error: syntax error while parsing 
map.
Jul 20 13:22:53 lch automount[3427]: mounted indirect mount on /misc with 
timeout 300, freq 75 seconds
Jul 20 13:22:53 lch automount[3427]: mounted indirect mount on /net with 
timeout 300, freq 75 seconds
======
Here is the auto.master:
======
/home    ldap://129.15.1.203/ou=auto.home,dc=it,dc=ou,dc=edu
======
nsswitch:
======
automount:  files
======

While monitoring traffic on the ldap server.  I never see any traffic from the 
client when the daemon is started.  So I am thinking that it is not able to 
read the "/home" entry.

I have tried the old style colon syntax for an ldap entry.  No joy.  I 
purposely made syntax errors and then it will say syntax error near "xxxxx" as 
it should.

Ideas / Suggestions?

TIA
