The /etc/init/sssd.conf script now has: ``` start on (filesystem and net-device-up and starting autofs) ``` The "starting autofs" will never happen if autofs is not installed. That's critical in that that prevents authentication after the next boot after "sssd" has been upgraded. The work around for now is to remove that "and starting autofs" or install the autofs package. ``` $ apt-cache policy sssd sssd: Installed: 1.11.8-0ubuntu0.6 Candidate: 1.11.8-0ubuntu0.6 Version table: *** 1.11.8-0ubuntu0.6 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.11.5-1ubuntu3 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages ```
