[Bug 40189] Re: autofs needs to be restarted to pick up some shares

[fejes]

I am experiencing what I think is the same problem in 10.04.  It wasn't
a problem in any of the versions prior to this on the one machine, but
an upgrade recently caused this to affect ~50% of cold boots.

It's not difficult to solve - once the failed login happens (home is not
mapped), I go to one of the terminals (crtl-alt-F1), and issue:

sudo /etc/init.d/autofs reload

After this, I can switch back to the KDE/Gnome prompt and login through
the graphical prompt, which is now crtl-alt-F8.
