autofs dirs from Solaris8

[Bob Kryger]

I am trying to automount directories from those hosted on a Solaris8 
box. My maps are dist via NIS from the sun NIS servers.

So I've got the NIS working OK, but when I config the autofs and attempt 
to cd to a automount dir, I get a message in /var/log/messages that says:

    Jun 24 16:57:45 yen automount[7120]: >> mount: directory to mount
    not in host:dir format
    Jun 24 16:57:45 yen automount[7120]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure 
    on /home/prod
    Jun 24 16:57:45 yen automount[7120]: failed to mount /home/prod

I get the same results if I use the 'sun' format option.

for completeness:

    [root at yen root]# uname -a
    Linux yen 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 #1 Fri Mar 12 14:01:55 EST 2004 i686
    i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    [root at yen root]# ypcat -k auto.home
    user host:/export/home/user

TIA
