I believe auto.mater is always a file, though I could be mistaken.
However, for below, it's a YP map, based on the fact that it's specified
above.  NOTE: I've had some trouble (maybe it's just me?) with automount
parsing the auto.master file correctly.  Instead, I explicitly call
automount on boot with
automount --timeout 600 /home yp auto.home
making sure, obviously, that YP was kicked off, first.
