There could be a problem with the script that starts the automounter. Try running /sbin/automount outside of the init script, something like:
# /etc/init.d/autofs stop # /sbin/automount /clamscan/master/ file /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map -t 0 --ghost On Mon, 2008-01-07 at 14:57 -0600, James Melin wrote: > My auto.master entry for this is: > > /clamscan/master/ /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map -t 0 --ghost > > Originally I had tried : /clamscan/master/ > /clamscan/mapfiles/clam-av.map -t 0 -g > > that is supposed to be valid.
