Actual results: System does not show homes. Expected results: Homes contents displayed. Additional info: First line of /etc/auto.master: /home nisplus:auto_home
Please see: http://people.redhat.com/jmoyer and provide the information requested under the "Filing bug reports" section. If the script doesn't get so far as to start the daemon, then let's see the output from sh -x /etc/init.d/autofs start. Thanks!
Dear Jeffrey. sh -x actually shows that autofs issues the correct automount command. The problem seems to be on the nisplus side with the keyserv daemon having unstable behavior after startup thus making autofs fail later on. Sorry for the trouble.
