The issue is that autofs is now an upstart script but NIS wasn't converted to upstart yet. So nothing ensures that NIS is started before AutoFS.
A workaround would be to reload AutoFS in /etc/rc.local, since S99rc.local should always run after S99nis. ** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: nis (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: autofs5 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- NIS-based autofs maps don't load on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/570513 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
