I discovered the reason why nis wasn't starting. I had the name of the server instead of the IP address (sorry, I overlooked the instructions about the IP address in yp.conf). Now ypbind always starts. And autofs seems to read auto.master from the NIS server properly. I have rebooted about 10 times and in all of them autofs works. So probably the bug can be closed as mistaken. Thank you very much for the support and sorry for the mistake. Regards, Enrique
