No.

First, what are you running, C6 or C7?

Note that autors and idmapd are not enabled by default, so you need to
a) fix either /etc/auto.master or auto.<whatever> to include what you want
mounted, then edit /etc/idmapd.conf to correct it. Then

c6:
    chkconfig idmapd on
    chkconfig autofs on
    service idmapd start
    service autofs start

D7:
     systemctl enable idmapd
     systemctl start idmapd
     systemctl enable autofs
     systemctl start autofs

Those should start the required daemons. DON'T execute the individual
files manually.
