Hi, the proposed fix does not solve the problem here, using LDAP for automount in nsswitch.conf .
automout: bind_ldap_simple: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP server. If I add ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 20 in autofs.service it works as expected, so there is still a timing problem.
