[Bug 619947] [NEW] initialization of autofs is erratic (no nis maps available)

[Kike]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: autofs5


 I am using autofs to mount nfs home dirs. My autofs configuration uses NIS maps, and the auto.master looks like:
 +auto.master

 However, the NIS maps are not available after reboot. I have several scenarios.
 Case 1
 ---------
 NIS is most working. 
 Work around:
 1) I have to start nis ( /etc/init.d/nis start) because strangely it has not been started.
 2) I restart atufos (stop autofs, start autofs)

Case 2
 --------
 statd is not working.
  Work around:
 1) Start statd manually (/etc/init.d/statd start)
 2) I restart atufos (stop autofs, start autofs)

 It seems that it is related to the way the initialization daemon starts
the services. It has a big impact on the system, since users cannot
login after NIS and autofs is working, and manual intervention as root
has to be performed.
