autofs is fustrating me

[Bob Tanner <tanner@real-time.com>]

I am having a terrible time getting autofs on RH 6.0 to work correctly. 
Using either nis for maps OR files for maps.

On the "server"  have:

/etc/auto.master

/staff  /etc/auto.home  --timeout 600

/etc/auto.home
*       -soft,intr      king:/home/&

On the "client" I do this:

ypcat auto.home and I get this:
-soft,intr	king:/home/&

Um, shouldn't I get :
*       -soft,intr      king:/home/&

Of course when I do a cd /staff/user, I get this in syslog:
automount: attempting to mount entry /staff/user
automount: lookup(yp): lookup for user failed: No such map in server's domain

Any ideas?
