Other Errors With Autofs

If the /etc/auto* files have the execute bit set, the automounter tries to execute the maps, which creates messages like:

/etc/auto_home: +auto_home: not found

In this case, the auto_home file has incorrect permissions. Each entry in the file will generate an error message much like this one. The permissions to the file should be reset by typing the following command:

# chmod 644 /etc/auto_home
