The autofs init script is missing the redhat-style comments that specify process name and configuration file. Also, there is a blank line in front of the chkconfig that is there so it is ignored (maybe a good thing since the chkconfig spec does not match the rc links that are distributed).
The autofs package in 6.2 doesn't include any symbolic links; if you upgraded, though, the existing ones didn't change. It *is* missing the process name and configuration file, those will be corrected in autofs-3.1.4-9 in Raw Hide (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/). Until Raw Hide gets udpated, the fixes will be in http://people.redhat.com/nalin/test/.
