[LUNA] autofs & DHCP issues

[William A. Mahaffey III]

I have 2 newly upgraded CentOS 5.8 (upgraded from ancient fedora, FC7) 
machines on a LAN. Both are configured to use DHCP from an AT&T DSL 
modem which is the DHCP server for the LAN. Everything works AOK, web 
access is fine, machines can ping/ssh to & fro AOK. The only problem is 
trying to use autofs to access exported drives between the 2 machines. 
Before the upgrade, we used static LAN addressing, w/ /etc/hosts files 
on all boxen, & autofs worked AOK for mounting exported disk space 
between machines. With DHCP, it is nogo, with messages about can't find 
the other machine named "name" to mount exported resource. Is autofs 
supposed to work w/ DHCP ? If so, any clues :-) ? I poked around a bit 
on Google, basically couldn't locate any good HOWTO's or info on whether 
this is supposed to work or not. Any clues appreciated. TIA & have a 
good one.


P.S. machines are elsewhere or I would have the exact lines from 
messages about why the mount failed. I will try to get that ASAP :-/ ....
