This is more a hypothetical problem, because most people using LDAP distributed automounter maps will also start portmap to mount remote volumes. But if neither ypbind, nor portmap is started at boot time, autofs is started before net and just doesn't load the LDAP maps. In most situations autofs will start correctly, for example if the host has static NFS mounts or runs the LDAP server locally. In my opinion it would be better to add 'use net' to the depend() function of the autofs init script. I don't know alot about autofs and local mounts but I don't think this will break anything.
