NIS + autofs: Automounter won't start

[epretorious]

I've configured NIS correctly:

 

[admin@vdc-vm2 Desktop]$ ypcat -k auto.master
/localmnt /etc/auto.local --timeout=60
/exit14 /ypsrc/auto.home --timeout=60
/bugs /ypsrc/auto.bugs --timeout=60
/exit15 /ypsrc/auto.exit15 --timeout=60
/mts /ypsrc/auto.mts --timeout=60
/bldmnt /ypsrc/auto.buildmap --timeout=60
/exit26 /ypsrc/auto.exit26home --timeout=60
/scripts /ypsrc/auto.scripts --timeout=60
/mts-cm /ypsrc/auto.mts-cm --timeout=60

...but when I start autofs, it complains:

 

[admin@vdc-vm2 Desktop]$ sudo /etc/init.d/autofs start
Starting autofs:												[FAILED]

What's causing this failure?
