Bug Description

Binary package hint: autofs5

I've recently upgraded to lucid from lucid-beta. autofs5 was among upgraded packages. After upgrade and reboot automounting user home directory over NIS on login didn't work: the automounter deamon wasn't started. After starting it manually with 'start autofs' automounting worked again, but only till next reboot. From /usr/share/doc/autofs5/changelog.Debian.gz I could see that the only change in the package was replacing init script with Upstart job.

I'm not familiar with writing Upstart jobs, but after commenting out the following two lines in /etc/init/autofs.conf

start on (filesystem
        and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)

and adding instead the line:

start on started gdm

automounting seems to work again on reboot.
