Description of problem: If you're using NIS and try to (NFS) mount a filesystem from a host whose name is found only in NIS (not files/DNS), the mounts fail because netfs (25) is run before ypbind (27). One solution would of course to have the NFS server's IP address in /etc/hosts or /etc/fstab on the client machine or in DNS, however I'm suggesting netfs to be moved to start after ypbind (unless this has other nasty side-effects). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.83-1 How reproducible: Always
Now 3 years later, with Fedora Core 2, this is still exactly the same problem. And has been so for all RH/FC releases in between. Problem: [root@garvin rc3.d]# cd /etc/rc3.d/ [root@garvin rc3.d]# ls -l S2* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 16 14:47 S20random -> ../init.d/random lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 16 14:50 S24pcmcia -> ../init.d/pcmcia lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 16 14:47 S25netfs -> ../init.d/netfs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 16 14:50 S26apmd -> ../init.d/apmd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 19 09:05 S27ypbind -> ../init.d/ypbind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 16 14:50 S28autofs -> ../init.d/autofs Solution: [root@garvin rc3.d]# mv S25netfs S29netfs Result: [root@garvin rc3.d]# ls -l S2* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 16 14:47 S20random -> ../init.d/random lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 16 14:50 S24pcmcia -> ../init.d/pcmcia lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 16 14:50 S26apmd -> ../init.d/apmd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 19 09:05 S27ypbind -> ../init.d/ypbind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 16 14:50 S28autofs -> ../init.d/autofs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 16 14:47 S29netfs -> ../init.d/netfs
Of course, this must also be done for rc4.d and rc5.d.
