Hey all, I have a weird problem, since a while autofs did not want to work with /net/gate anymore. gate is the name of one of my computers. Before it always worked just fine and i could access /net/gate/home/erwin to get my home dir from that machine via NFS. After a while i found out that when i add "192.168.2.1 gate gate" to my hosts file it works again. The question is is it normal that the host name must be in /etc/hosts before autofs will work with nfs ? TIA, Erwin
