Autofs/Automount on RedHat Linux Kernal 2.4.20-8 (Release 9) on i686

Gurus,

I am trying to mount an NFS exported dir from Solaris 8 onto
this Linux client using autofs/automount:

From the Linux client:

root@Linux# showmount -e ns1
Export list for ns1:
/homes (everyone)

root@Linux# cat /etc/auto.net
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage

# the following entries are samples to pique your imagination
ns1 -fstype=nfs ns1:/homes

root@Linux# cat /etc/auto.master
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/net /etc/auto.net --timeout=10

[root@Linux# /etc/init.d/autofs status
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 10 /net file /etc/auto.net

Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 10 /net file /etc/auto.net

The whole dir is mounted under /net/ns1. I want this under /net/ns1/homes

What I am doing wrong here? What needs to be changed in order to achieve
this?

Thanks,
-Murali
