The more noticable issue is the collision between nis and autofs.  Both
run at level 19, neither runs in rcS.d and autofs is frequently used
with NIS maps so wants NIS to be started before it.  It's this that
drives moving portmap.

I worry that while this is a rarely used feature the people who use NIS
are more likely than most to be among those who do so.
