Jumping up and down too early I guess:

I've userland autofs5 version 5.0.3 installed, the kernel 2.6.27.2 has
AUTOFS4 set
$ zgrep AUTOFS /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS=y
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=y

and when starting autofs it complains about wrong kernel protocol version:

/etc/init.d/autofs restart
Stopping automount: done.
Starting automount: /usr/sbin/automount: kernel protocol version 5.00 or
above required.
no valid automount entries defined.

auto.master only has a single line:
/atlas/data          yp:auto.data      --timeout=5

and ypcat yields:
$ ypcat auto.data
-fstype=nfs,nfsvers=3,hard,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,rw       &:/data/

Something's wrong here but I can't spot it.

Cheers
