I have been on this unsuccessfully for a long time now. Would greatly appreciate all help.
On my NIS/Samba setup,
this is what /etc/auto.misc says on the client machine,
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage

kernel -ro,soft,intr ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux
cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
csl -rw,bg,intr server:/home/csl
csl1 -rw,bg,intr server:/home/csl1
csl2 -rw,bg,intr server:/home/csl2
outsiders -rw,bg,intr server:/home/outsiders
#data -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda8

# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
#boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1
#floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0
#floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0
#e2floppy -fstype=ext2 :/dev/fd0
#jaz -fstype=ext2 :/dev/sdc1
#removable -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdd

and this is what auto.master says on the same machine,
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60

On the samba server,
this is what the /etc/exports say,
/home/csl1 @csl-hosts(rw)
/home/csl2 @csl-hosts(rw)
/home/csl @csl-hosts(rw)
/home/outsiders @csl-hosts(rw)
/home/bbf @csl-hosts(rw)

But the problem is that it is still not mounting the NFS shares. This happens only on some machines. Please advise.

Also, when I reboot it prompt me to type 'F1' to continue and 'F2' to enter setup. Thats fine, but when I do a remote reboot it will be a problem as it wont proceed until I enter some option. So how do I get around this ??

Thanks.
