the above says that you are mounting "misc.foo" onto /var/autofs/misc
- make sure you ahve the directory called /var/autofs/misc
simlarly of /var/autofs/net
make sure your kernel supports autofs
- compiled into the kernel -- or --
as a modules listed by lsmod
- you'd probably have a library like /usr/lib/autofs
( a list of autofs libs )

local is the only thing your care about...
- you really do NOT want to be automounting a local filesystem
- make sure you can manuyally mount that resource
root# mount -t ext3 -o ro,soft,intr,nosuid /dev/hda5 /mnt
if the above works... autofs should also work
- if yu have access to mail.your-domain.com:/var/spool/mail
add "mail:/var/spool/mail" to the auto.misc file
ls -la /var/autofs/misc/mail
== should list your mailboxes

it's not automounting...
- what is the error messages in /var/log/
i think you wanna go to
---------------------------
cd /var/autofs/misc
ls -la kernel
hav fun
