The past few Fedora installs, I've specified a NIS server during
the
Anaconda installation so I don't have to create any local user accounts.
However, once installation is complete, I can't log into any NIS accounts
because autofs insn't installed, causing the user accounts' home folders to
not be mounted. I have to sign in as root, install autofs, then all is
well.
How have you set up a NIS server as part of the install? It's not part
of the anaconda configuration screens.
My question is: shouldn't autofs be installed by default, as part
of the
base installation?
For many use cases in Fedora, it's not needed; we're trying to keep the
core/base groups reasonably small.
If you use kickstart, you can both set up NIS and install autofs with
directives in your kickstart file.
