If you have a line in /etc/nsswitch.conf like: automount: files nis it will look in /etc for auto.master (files) and try to connect to a nis server and ask for auto.master. So, it depends on the source specified in /etc/nsswitch.conf. > > When I add a line with an auto.master file with full path: > > +/var/run/autofs/auto.master > > it works also. That's right. This just prevents autofs from consulting /etc/nsswitch.conf because it doesn't need to.
