Thanks a lot. Indeed, removing the key form the script output solved the 
problem.


May I suggest adding some details to the autofs.5 man page, in the 
"program" section? The output format expected from an executable map 
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere in the man pages.

I was just a bout to do it and submit a diff for autofs.5, but then I 
realized that I really don't know the format which is expected. For a 
normal map, it would seem to be

[options] :device

But what is the expected format for an NFS map, and what other formats 
can be used?


Thank you,

MI
