Are you sure your remote host is alive? Does your kernel have the LOFS
stuff installed?  Does your remote host support normal NFS mounts (to it)?

We aren't using the SUNOS4.0 automount/LOFS, rather, the stuff shipped
with NSE under SUNOS3.4/3.5.

My configuration is simple:

	/etc/auto.master:
		/hosts	/usr/etc/auto.hosts

	/usr/etc/auto.hosts:
		machineA machineA:/dirA
		machineB machineB:/dirB
		machineC machineC:/dirC

	All one has to do is "cd /hosts/machineA" to be at machineA:/dirA.
