I am sorry I do not have the original map available anymore. But I have reconstructed what I think the failing maps looked like. That said I can not reproduce the problem any longer. I have however updated the system since the problem occured. So probably it was related to some other package. I remember that it confused me that one line of a map was failing and the others were not although they were nearly identical until I realized that one used tabs while the other used spaces. I did reboot client and server machine several times at the time to make sure the problem was really caused by the tabs. Also the logs did not state what the problem was. I am not sure if they said anything. If at all something like 'Could not mount.... '. After looking at the autofs sources it is unexplainable to me how tabs could have made a difference. Could NIS have messed with the files when serving them? Sorry I can not be of more help. Jens Taprogge -- Jens Taprogge
