OK, I might have forgotten to change nsswitch.conf -> autoumount: files
!

$/etc/init.d/autofs status
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /mci ldap
openldap.int-evry.fr:ou=auto.mci,dc=int-evry,dc=fr

Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /mci ldap
openldap.int-evry.fr:ou=auto.mci,dc=int-evry,dc=fr

It seems to work better but now it is looking for a library that is not
present ?
automount[24668]: cannot open lookup module
openldap (/usr/lib/autofs//lookup_openldap.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory)

where should it come from ?

Thanks
