uninitialized value in hash element

uninitialized value in hash element

[Mike Seda]

Hi All,
The following is the entire automount section of a LogWatch email for 
one of my servers:

Failed mounts:
          NFS Mount Failure 24 Time(s)

**Unmatched Entries**

failed to mount /home/ls: 8 Time(s)
failed to mount /home/df: 5 Time(s)

 ---------------------- Automount End -------------------------

Does anyone know what could cause the hash element errors? I looked in 
/var/log/messages, and this error also appeared previously when trying 
to mount /home/gateway, which doesn't even exist on my system. Btw, 
/home/ls and /home/df do not exist either, but /home/bpuser does. I 
never executed mount requests for either /home/gateway, /home/ls, or 
/home/df, and there is a slim chance that any of my users did. I have 
seen these errors on other machines running the same kernel and 
automount version, and it is really bugging me. Any thoughts would be 
much appreciated.
