Sun Managers:

Thank you very much for the useful replies. There were 3. The concensus
was that it is a known bug with automounter in 4.1.2 and that I am not
crazy. I'm so pleased to hear that. :-) Apparently there are patches
available or one can upgrade to 4.1.3. My plan is to upgrade the OS
this weekend. The original question and all replies are included below
if you care to read them.

Thanks again,
VIVA LA SUN MANAGERS!

************* ORIGINAL MESSAGE ***************************************
Dear Managers:

I'm experiencing some automounter weirdness on my local machine. I'm
getting messages like this sent to the console:

>Oct 27 12:13:36 whiplash automount[120]: pathok: couldn't find devid
>8229(0700) for /tmp_mnt/net/bullwinkle/usr/local/pvi

It seems to be searching the network trying to mount some devid.
I'm loading automounter at boot time from /etc/rc.local like this:

if [ -f /usr/etc/automount ]; then
automount /net -hosts && echo -n ' automount'

It continues to send these messages all day long although everything seems
to be fine otherwise. Incidently, 120 is the automounter pid and only
one instance of automounter is running. I'm on sun 4.1.2. No patches.
Whiplash is my machine, a SPARCstastion ELC. Bullinkle is on the net.
Anyone have any idea what it's doing? Check out the listing below for a
more complete listing of my console window.

Thanks in advance,
