I just upgraded from autofs-4.1.3-r2 to 4.1.3-r4 and autofs failed to start. It complains about the -t option requiring a numeric argument for each of my nis mounts. I tracked the problem down to my Sun NIS maps having some long options that, in the newer version, fail to parse properly in the getmounts function in /etc/init.d/autofs. There is a ton of new code in there and I am far from a sed expert so I gave up at that point. My NIS auto.master is: /proj auto.proj -rw,intr,proto=udp /home auto.home -rw,intr,proto=udp /esda auto.esda -rw,intr,proto=udp /vol auto.vol -rw,intr,proto=udp /net -hosts -rw,intr,proto=udp /dfs auto.dfs -rw,intr,proto=udp /u auto.u -rw,intr,proto=udp /- auto.direct -rw,intr,proto=udp automount line in nsswitch.conf: automount: files nis /etc/autofs/auto.master: # $Id: auto.master,v 1.1 2000/08/08 17:53:33 achim Exp $ # Sample auto.master file # Format of this file: # mountpoint map options # For details of the format look at autofs(8). /misc /etc/autofs/auto.misc #/home /etc/autofs/auto.home auto.misc is just comments.

remove the leading '-' from your options. leading '-' = option for autofs daemon no leading '-' = option for mount call I'd like to ignore all -foo stuff myself, but getopt parses: '-rw,intr,proto' as a two strings of '-t' 'r,proto=udp'
just forgot to stick myself on the cc list since i'm the maintainer of autofs, and not a part of net-fs.
