autofs - nfs mounts suddenly stopped working

Posted: 2006-07-10

Been using autofs to automount nfs for a long time - but it suddenly stopped working. Only thing in the logs was an "unable to mount" error.

The problem was that auto.net in /etc was no longer executable (maybe an update or something - not sure). Setting it executable - and suddenly - ba-bing - all nfs automounts came back :)
