I can't get autofs to work with my NIS mount maps automatically.
Once I'm up, if I restart autofs (reload doesn't work) it will then
work properly.<br>
<br>
I've tried various workarounds I've found on the Internet but they
don't seem to work or aren't practical; for instance, I set<br>
<br>
NETWORKWAIT=yes<br>
<br>
in /etc/sysconfig/network, didn't help.<br>
<br>
I could put a long sleep in the autofs startup script to get it to
wait until networking was actually up, but this seems clumsy at
best.<br>
<br>
Any other thoughts? As I understand it, this is an issue with
NetworkManager startup returning successfully before the interface
is up, so there is no networking available when autofs gets started.
