Hi,
and many thanks to Casper Dik who helped me out!
The problem was caused by the /xfn entry (already commented it out, but due
to the +auto_master the global NIS-maps were still included - and there, the
entry was still present...)
After commenting out the NIS-entries also, and rebooting the system to get
rid of the old configs in mem, I finally got it up and running again.
The main problem seems to be a bug in automountd: (Thanks to Casper for the
tip!)
4847047 automountd dumps core when accessing /xfn/_x500 with Patch 108993-18
You should have more luck with 108993-20
Of course, 108993-18 is installed - I'll download the new version, and
install it to prevent such problems in future.
Thanks to the list for the quick help,
keep on hackin',
Harald
