It means that the  server doesn't allow anonymous binds with an 
non-empty DN. I've updated my LDAP today also to 2.1.9, and got the same 
error.

The fast solution:

Put the following line into slapd.conf:

allow bind_v2 bind_anon_dn


The more thorough solution would be to change lookup_ldap.c to do the 
right things, like using the values from ldap.conf.

I will try to enter a bug at redhat's bugzilla against autofs.

Sincerely,
Klaus
