Package: autofs Version: 4.1.4-13 Severity: important Good evening.
I installed this new computer from scratch via debian netinstall CD. Afterwards, I installed by apt-get nis, nfs and than autofs (in this particular order). I made the appropriate changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf, in order to read autofs from NIS maps and restarted autofs by its startup script. It worked as expected and read in all needed maps (auto.master and auto.home, amongst others) from nis maps. Changing to another virtual console, I was able to login with my user account. autofs loaded the correct home file system via nfs. After reboot, I was still able to login (so nis was working correctly), but autofs didn't mount the file system and the shell started with / as HOME instead. Reason seems to be, that first /etc/rc2.d/S19autofs and afterwards /etc/rc2.d/S19nis is executed and hence no nis maps are available to autofs. verleihnix:~# /etc/init.d/autofs status Configured Mount Points: ------------------------ /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /var/autofs/misc file /etc/auto.misc /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /gallien yp auto.gallien nfsvers=3,tcp /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /home yp auto.home nfsvers=3,tcp /usr/sbin/automount --timeout=300 /var/autofs/net program /etc/auto.net Active Mount Points: -------------------- verleihnix:~# cd ~jan -bash: cd: /home/majestix/jan: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden You see, autofs refuses to mount /home/majestix, as appropriate.

As nis needs the portmapper and thus has start number 18, 19 should be ok for nis. So autofs should become 20?! Thank you for your ongoing support.
