DEC's automounter problem...

[Michel Fingerhut]

Setup:
	DECsystem 5820 
	Ultrix 4.0

Startup of automount in /etc/rc.local with:
	/usr/etc/automount 2> /usr/adm/autmount.log 

Master map consists of:
	/net -hosts
	/u auto.u

Problem:
	automounting of file systems exported from one single other machine
	on the net fails, while manual mounting of its files works, and
	automounting of file systems from other machines on the net works
	too.
	
Diagnostics:
	1. running automount -T gave the following messages:
		LOOKUP call(fh=[29792, 656788687, 4], name=igor)
		LOOKUP return(stat=NFSERR_ACCES)
				   ^^^^^^^^^^^^
	2. running nfswatch showed that while packets reached igor,
	   none was an NFS mount request, in this particular case (i.e.,
	   automount request).

What should I do now?  (I know the suggestion to use amd, but I have heard
that it has other problems).
