NSS volumes fail to mount at boot, but mount after boot

After updating to OES2, the NSS volumes fail to mount at boot time. After the server is running, you can simply run the /etc/init.d/novell-nss start command and the volumes will mount properly.

Errors from /var/log/boot.msg

modinfo: could not open nss: Is a directory

ERROR: Cannot find nss.ko

.......... ABORTING /etc/init.d/novell-nss ..........

NSS is NOT fully running!

Mount information from /etc/fstab

VOL1 /nss/VOL1 nssvol noauto,rw,name=VOL1,ns=Long 0 0

Move the mount point to some location other than root "/", and make sure the new location does NOT have a file or directory called"nss".

Updating to the latest novell-nss package resolves the issue.

The services are started from root "/" and the /etc/init.d/novell-nss script runs the modinfo nss command. The modinfo command looks in the current working directory first for the module nss. Since it finds a directory called nss, it fails; thus causing the volumes to fail at boot time. Once you login, your current working directory is something other than /, so it works.
