Automount

My site has a few sun solaris server including out NIS server and NFS server on solaris machines. we also have few suse linux and redhat linux machine.

All our home directory is on our NFS server(sun Solaris) and this is automounted through /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto_home this worked fine all our sun machine, so I can log on to any Sun machine and get my home directory but when I try logon to linux machine I get the following "Could not chdir to home directory /home/lion/staff/hassan: No such file or directory"

on my linux /var/log/messages I get the following
automount[30261]: attempting to mount entry /home/lion
humboldt automount[30306]: lookup(file): lookup for lion failed

my auto.home looks like this on linux just like my sun machines
+auto.home

my auto.master looks like
/- auto.home -rw,hard,intr,quota,nosuid,browse


Can you help? please. it works fine on Sun but not on any on my linux machines.
