OK - finally got back to the problem system...

# rpm -q python
python-2.4.3-15.fc6

The default:
# cat /etc/auto.master
#
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.4 2005/01/04 14:36:54 raven Exp $
#
# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#
/misc   /etc/auto.misc
/net    /etc/auto.net
#
# Include central master map if it can be found using
# nsswitch sources.
#
# Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as
# above) in the included master map any keys that are the
# same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes
# precedence.

+auto.master

A clue!  Not using NIS/YP.

Commented out last line and got rid of "nisplus" for automount
in /etc/nsswitch.conf - seems to be working now - "smart update" is
running as I type.  Should have seen that in RedHat bugzilla report.
Thanks!
