Re: autofs not installed by default

Hm - perhaps it was as part of the first boot, post-anaconda.  Basically, it was when I was asked to create a user account.  I selected "use network login" (paraphrasing) instead of creating a local account.

How have you set up a NIS server as part of the install? It's not part
of the anaconda configuration screens.

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.
