Description of problem: Automounting of NFS4 shares appears to require opening of port 111 (sunrpc) on the server's firewall. Normal mounting with "mount" does not require this. I'm not sure whether this is considered a bug or a feature; but this was not required in Fedora 16. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.0.6-21.fc17 How reproducible: Consistently

There was a needed change (which you might call a feature) that exposed a bug in the existing code. I thought I fixed that in F17 but I see I haven't. In the meantime set MOUNT_WAIT in the autofs configuration to a value other than -1, for example 30, and that will cause autofs to use the method it used previously.
