Many thanks to Rachel Polanskis on this question:

The best solution, unless you are using xfn for something, is to
remove the xfn line from /etc/auto_master, and stop/start autofs.

Alternatively, you can edit the file:

/etc/fn/x500.conf

And remove the services -- though this makes it so you can't do any
x500/ldap stuff. Also not sure what is required to make this take
effect as I did not go this route.
