[Help!] Problems with autofs after upgrade to slink...

[Thaths <thaths@netscape.com>]

Hi,

I just finished upgrading my box to slink via dselect.  During the
upgrade I noticed some problems with yp.  After the upgrade finished I
decided to reboot my machine (not that it needed it.  I just wanted to
be safe).  Upon reboot I noticed that some of the directories that were
to be automounted (including home directories of users listed in NIS)
were not being automounted.  I would REALLY appreciate any help in
getting this fixed. 

Here is some info that might be of help -

beetle ~# dpkg --list | grep mount
ii  autofs          3.1.1-2        A kernel-based automounter for Linux.
ii  dpkg-mountable  0.8            Enhanced access method for dselect
ii  mount           2.8a-1.1       Tools for mounting and manipulating
filesyst

beetle ~# ypcat -k auto.home | grep thaths

As you see from the above two, my home directory should be /u/thaths

beetle ~# /etc/init.d/autofs restart

Does all of this, in some way, have to do with the syslog problem that
people have been talking about?
