autofs init script just sends the wrong flags to automount resulting in errors like this: /home/usr/bin/automount: option -t requires a numeric argument, got, intr, nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 If you uncomment the echo lines commented on the script (which is attached), you'll get something like this: Wed Feb 1 09:08:49 WET 2006 STARTUPOPTIONS --timeout ,intr,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 DIR /home MAPTYPE yp MAP auto.home MAPOPTIONS -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 LOCALOPTIONS OPTIONS -t 60 -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 GETOPT_INPUT --timeout 60 -t 60 -rw,soft,intr,nosuid,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 I don't thing the STARTUPOPTIONS flag is ok. Should be checked. Think this is all. I'll attach script!

Created attachment 78628 [details] Autofs script with echo uncommented
What does your /etc/conf.d/autofs look like? If you update to the latest, net-fs/autofs-4.1.3-r7, do you experience the same bug?
New maintainer, net-fs/autofs-5.0.3-r1 is now in the tree.
please provide feedback on comment #2 (or test with a yet newer version)
