autonfsmount with Suns

Help!  I am trying to get the autonfsmount program to read my Sun NIS  
auto.??? files and have it work.  I have succeeded it modifying /etc/rc to  
read the NIS maps but it doesn't work.  Any known problems?  I cannot get  
the mounts to work correctly.  When I login as a NIS user the  
autonfsmounter program knows about the mount points but does do the mount.
Any ideas?

Do you have the appropriate permissions to mount?  Try to mount it manually  
using the mount command.  Also, autonfsmount doesn't understand maps in the  
form of "machine1,machine2,machine3:/filesystem" as the Sun automounter does.   
This caused me some grief until I discovered it, and ended up writing a short  
sed script to remove the extra machines (which were there only because Sun  
doesn't do multihomed hosts properly).
