automountd not running,retrying
dear all,
I have a Solaris 9 machine. I configured NFS in the server. But,
While shutting down the Solaris server with "shutdown -i5 -g0 -y" the
system start to shutdown but stops at "automountd not running,
retrying". I tried with stopping the NFS server. But it didn't work.
If anybody has the solution pls mail me the same.
