I am testing autofs on FC3 with direct mounts read from Solaris NIS maps. I have enabled direct mounts by editing DISABLE_DIRECT=1 in /etc/sysconfig/autofs. On the NIS server I have test direct mount of: /admin -ro amachine:/export/admin Which does not work correctly in FC3 but work's fine in Solaris, /var/log/messages show's cache_ghost: entry in yp:auto_direct not valid map format, key /admin When I add the below direct mount, it works as expected. /test/admin -ro amachine:/export/admin Is this just a feature of the Linux autofs not fully emulating Sun's autofs or is this a bug?
