Question Automounter not using NIS maps


Does anyone know how to get the autofs to use NIS maps to create mount points for NFS mounts? I see no reason to create a local /etc/auto.home just to add the line +auto.home. I am using CentOS 5.5.

What's really irking me is that I have 2 machines that work and others (freshly built) that don't and I haven't found the difference (yet)!

Thanks for any assistance.

Gene

What's in your /etc/auto.master and what's in the "automount" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf?
