Problem when creating an autofs map

[Danny Crisp]

I'm fairly new to NIS and need to create a custom map for my domain. I have followed the procedure outlined in http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1811/ch04s03.html#bjadajgf but get the following error message after executing make NOPUSH=1 auto.home.

Bad character | (octal 174), line 228Make: . Stop.

I guess the error kind of insinuates that there is some kind of typo in the Makefile. But that is not the case.

Completely stuck here, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Please gmake instead of make. It is a problem with make and make related utilities.
