nis(+) shows wong map

[Gerhard Kroder <gerhard.kroder@data-sciences.de>]

hi,

i try to setup automount for linux using solaris-nis+ maps. i need to adopt
them to work with linux automounter. but my problem for now is, that
auto-maps on sunserver are different than what i can see from linux:

>linux > ypcat auto.master
>auto_direct
>auto_home
>-hosts          -nosuid

and on master server from solaris i get:

>solaris > niscat auto_master.org_dir
>/- auto_direct
>/home auto_home
>/net -hosts             -nosuid


what makes me wonder is auto.master shows parts of auto_master. that
translation of "_" to "." should be a bug? and first column of auto_master
gets lost! i'm shure ther's no oter nisserver in our local net, where i
could fetch wrong maps. and these entries are not present at linuxes
auto.master map.

any ideas?
