Very Computer

Hi all
I'm facing on an issue. So I need your help.
I have a NIS server on Sun Solaris. I currently using direct and indirect
NIS map.
for example: On my NIS server ( Solaris Operating System)
    - on /etc/nis/auto_master file
        /home      auto_home -rw,intr,nosuid
        /-             auto_direct

    - on /etc/nis/auto_home
        *            nfsserver:/export/home/&

    - on /etc/nis/auto_direct
        /usr/local     -rw,soft,bg      nfsserver:/usr/local/

On a Sun NIS client, I always add in /etc/auto_master the line +auto_master.
And modify the /etc/nsswitch.conf,  to take care of NIS automount.

But, I'm not able to automount indirect file system from NIS map on a RedHat
Operating System.
   for example: on the /etc/auto.master file
        /home    yp:auto.home
        /-            auto.direct            this line doesn't work on Linux

Can you please help me?
Cheers

A couple of things, do you have an /etc/yp.conf file?  If so, does it
contain your ypservers?

2) Do you have domainname set?  What about ypdomainname?

3) I found, through experimentation, that /etc/auto.master should be in
this form.  This might not exactly answer your question, but was how I
integrated a linux box into a Solaris auto.home NIS installation:

/home   yp      auto.home       --timeout 60

As Michael wrote, you're using incorrect syntax for _indirect_
map. And as I can recall, direct maps are not supported by autofs
(at least they weren't supported three years ago). You might
try to use am-utils instead.
