autofs fails to start

(Warning: a newbie solaris admin on the list).

Hi,

I noticed automountd server does not work on my new Fire 210 with
Solaris 9. Just after fresh install I applied the Sun "cluster patch"
and noticed no problems expect this:

automountd[1878]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address: address mismatch
automountd[1878]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] svc_create: svc_tli_create failed
automountd[1878]: [ID 668993 daemon.error] unable to create service

I've got no idea what the "address mismatch is".
NIS is not enabled in here and rpc seems to work ok.

Thanks a lot for any tips.

Wild guess ... did you rename the host sometime after install?

I think you can get this message if hostname, /etc/hosts, /etc/nodename
and especially /etc/net/ticlts/hosts /etc/net/ticots/hosts and
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts do not agree on the hostname (IP).

I did not change the name.
All the entries mentioned have a proper entry.
The only change I made is I added a domain name which was absent at
the first place.

1. autofs mounting dirs under autofs mounted dirs.

I have two directories that I'd like to automount.

server:/home/username
server:/secure/username

I'd like them to show up as:

/home/username, and
/home/username/secure respectively.

I've got the first one working fine - it's getting that subdirectory one
to work that's troubling me.

If I create the directory, I can manually mount it, so I'm assuming
autofs can handle it and that my problem lies in my auto.* files.

What's the best way to do this?

If
username        -rw     server:/home/username
is a valid /etc/auto.home entry, then is this one:
username/secure -ro     server:/secure/username ?

Or do I need to do something funky with auto.master and create an
auto.secure, or a whole bunch of auto.user? (tried this and it didn't
seem to work).

Thanks.
