...I made a mistake.  The nis maps that I provided were incorrect.  The 
corrected versions are:

>       onnv-gate                                                       \
>               /               onnv.sfbay:/export/onnv-gate            \
>               /archives       onnv.sfbay:/export/onnv-gate/archives   \
>               /packages       onnv.sfbay:/export/onnv-gate/packages   \
>               /public         onnv.sfbay:/export/onnv-gate/public     \
>               /proto          onnv.sfbay:/export/onnv-gate/proto
>
>       onnv-clone                                                      \
>               /               onnv.sfbay:/export/onnv-clone

The explanation for this change, if you're curious: for historical 
reasons, the old gate filesystem contained symlinks into /export for 
archives and packages.  Because there was no root entry ("/") for the 
automounter, those symlinks were invisible in /ws/onnv-gate.  but the new 
maps need a root entry, so the symlinks magically became visible via 
/ws/onnv-gate, thus interfering with the mount of archives and packages. 
Yeah, I should have anticipated this, but it's fixed now.  And we still 
need separate entries for archives/packages/public/proto, because they're 
separate mountpoints.

PLEASE: If after 09:00 PDT on Friday, August 7, you are still having 
trouble accessing /ws/onnv-gate or /ws/onnv-clone, send me e-mail 
with the output of these commands:

        hostname
        domainname
        ypwhich
        ypwhich -m

...so that I can try to get your maps updated for you.

Thank you, sorry for the extra noise.
