Automounts are not working

I have a RHEL 3 system and can't do automounts on it. I restarted the autofs service and I get this error.

# service autofs restart
Stopping automount:do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable
do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable

[ OK ]
Starting automount: do_ypcall: clnt_call: RPC: Procedure unavailable
No Mountpoints Defined [ OK ]

My home directory doesn't ever get mounted or any other logical mount points that I CD to.

This used to work. Is there another service I should check or restart or is autofs solely responsible for automounting file systems?

Thank You
