That works well with both RHEL 4 and 5. You're ldif file sounds correct.

Are you sure, that you're problem is related to netgroup? The slapd trace 
sounds more like problems with the automounter maps. I had some hassle with 
automounter Maps under LDAP (also to find a working configuration with both 
RHEL 4/5). Try to mount per "hand" with the mount command to verify that.

My experiences with SL4/5 (free clone of RHEL): 

Don't use NISMapName objectClass, instead use automount and automountMap 
ObjectClasses. Also don't use the updated autofs from  4.5, it is complete 
scrap! The 4.4 version and the RHEL 5 version work both well.

You will need the following entries in /etc/sysconfig/autofs to get it running 
under RHEL5:

DEFAULT_MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="automountMap"
DEFAULT_ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="automount"
DEFAULT_ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="cn"
DEFAULT_VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="automountInformation"

probably also:

DEFAULT_MAP_ATTRIBUTE="cn"


Sincerly,
