I'm having a problem with automount (autofs) from a server running CentOS 5.4 to clients (example is CentOS 5.4). Client pulls automount maps from NIS. THIS particular server is also used for login so it is NIS bound as well (other servers are NOT). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NIS Server Side... (content shortened) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ ypcat -k auto.master | sort | grep auto.mdkm1 /storage/mdkm1 auto.mdkm1 --timeout=600 $ ypcat -k auto.mdkm1 | sort 1 137.110.179.254:/mdkm1/1 . . . 10 137.110.179:254:/mdkm1/10 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NFS Server Side...

The server log never shows an attempt to mount mdkm1/10 in the 'stalled' automount attempt. For example... Apr 27 13:14:50 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated mount request from ###.###.172.70:730 for /mdkm1/1 (/mdkm1/1) Apr 27 13:15:24 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated unmount request from ###.###.172.70:771 for /mdkm1/1 (/mdkm1/1) Apr 27 13:16:17 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated mount request from ###.###.172.70:785 for /mdkm1/10 (/mdkm1/10) Apr 27 13:16:31 rilkm01 mountd[8002]: authenticated unmount request from ###.###.172.70:794 for /mdkm1/10 (/mdkm1/10) I've restarted the Server NFS services, Client autofs services AND the systems as a whole multiple times to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, Trevor Cooper -- Trevor Cooper, M.Sc.
