I've got ypbind running on a server and can log in alright over NIS, but the automounter isn't mounting home directories. This machine was working fine but I recently updated it from 2004.3 (yech) to 2007.0. After many headaches, conf file changes, and getting everything back to a working state, this is the only problem left. It may be related to this error, but not sure:

Code:

 * Caching service dependencies ...
 *  Can't find service 'domainname' needed by 'ypserv';  continuing...                                                                               [ ok ]
 * Stopping automounter ...   


The automounter seems to start okay:

Code:

 * Starting automounter ...
 /home


And here's the yp map for the autofs:

Code:

# $Id: auto.master,v 1.3 2004/12/09 08:25:48 robbat2 Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
#/net   /etc/autofs/auto.net
#/misc  /etc/autofs/auto.misc
#/home  /etc/autofs/auto.home
/home   yp:auto.home


Yet, still:

Code:

Could not chdir to home directory /home/nate: No such file or directory
nate@tuvalu / $


Ideas?!

EDIT: Old version of nfs-utils was the culprit. Solved.
