Hi,

Yesterday I updated autofs, the kernel, selinux-policy, and 
a few other things on my Fedora Core 6 laptop.  Today I brought
my laptop in to work, and autofs failed for /net mounts.

Here's the relevant section of yum.log:

I tried restarting autofs using '/etc/init.d/autofs start'
and it would claim success "[OK]", but in a few seconds (probably
less than a minute) the automount process would
disappear and '/etc/init.d/autofs status' would report
autofs stopped. DNS & general network connectivity were working.

Last Friday (before the update) I had been using automounts under
/net with no problem, in the same environment. I'm not an autofs experts
and haven't messed with the default auto.* configuration files.

Any hints?
