Comment 33 for bug 573919

It is really great that work is in progress I look forward to see this bug fixed in lucid/precise! I have a small comment though: in my case the autofs startup problem is unrelated to NIS, as I use LDAP. Out of desperation 1.5 years ago I also experimented with flat map files on local fs and even with that setup I encountered periodic problems with autofs startup at boot. Either autofs is not started or needs to be restarted to pick up the shares.
