I hope this will save someone else some hours. If you had automount
maps on RedHat 8 or 9 and have switched to Fedora, you'll find they no
longer work. The fix is to explicitly include the LDAP server name in
automountInformation. That is, your LDIF file should contain
automountInformation:ldap:ldaphost.your.domain.com:ou=auto.home,dc=your,dc=domain,dc=com
instead of the simpler
automountInformation:ldap:ou=auto.home,dc=your,dc=domain,dc=com
I filed a Bugzilla bug about this at RedHat.
