The problem is the same for NIS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/119660
I do agree that porting autofs to upstart would be ideal. Unfortunately, it seems it requires a good knowledge of Ubuntu's upstart events chain to do it properly. Maybe someone knowledgeable enough with the latter can come up with an elegant rewrite of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs/+bug/119660/comments/17 I had in mind something like /etc/init/autofs-ldap.conf (that would be part of the autofs5-ldap package): [...] start on (started rc-sysinit and started portmap) [...] script [ -e /usr/lib/autofs/lookup_ldap.so ] || exit 0 /etc/init.d/autofs restart end script Would that do the trick elegantly enough ? -- portmap is not started during boot process before autofs and hence autofs does not work properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511245 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
