After upgrading from CentOS/RHEL 5.9 to 5.10, you may noticed the following entry in the system logs [/var/log/messages] :
automount[0000]: lookup_read_master: lookup(nisplus): couldn’t locate nis+ table auto.master
Well, it appear there was a change of syntax since the previous version of “autofs” utility. I was able to get rid of this error removing the ” + ” in front of “auto.master” :
Open the following config file :
/etc/auto.master
Locate this line, usually at the bottom of the config :
+auto.master
Change to :
auto.master
Restart automount :
service autofs restart
