Things seem to have settled down on this to a point where things are where
we intended them to be in the first place. About three weeks ago, I had
asked why we had so much trouble with some clients being able to use
the automount maps (and passwd) after the NIS master moved from a 4.1.3
machine to an NSkit 1.2 machine. We kludged things to work by having
both auto_* and auto.* maps.
I received a couple of suggestions, including recreating from scratch,
rdisting the NIS domain my hand, and a patch 103053 for NSkit (which I
applied anyway).
What seemed to do the trick (though it's not clear why) was to remove the
4.1.3 slave from the picture. A few machines lost their /home automount map
when we did this, but they recovered when we bounced the automounter on
those clients.
No concrete understanding, but things are stable...
