[Bug 643289] Re: idmapd does not starts to work after system reboot

[Steve Langasek]

Those who are experiencing problems with idmapd not starting reliably at
boot, please see bug #811823 and provide feedback there for the SRU
packages that have just been accepted into the -proposed pocket for
lucid, maverick, and natty.  I've opened this as a separate bug because
there is still an architectural issue here with mountall+idmapd which we
should solve permanently, but 811823 seems to address most of the
symptoms.

Feedback from users seeing this problem is needed in order for the SRU
to be validated and published where it can help all users.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nfs-common

  I have server which runs Kerberos+LDAP+NFSv4. After installing minimal Ununtu 10.10, I set up Kerberos client and NFSv4. But I've got a problem when restarted computer. After some retries I've noticed that idmapd does not work properly after system restarts but there is a workaround which makes it work:
  1. Edit /etc/rc.local and place there following commands
  sleep 5
  service autofs stop
  service idmapd restart
  service autofs start
  2. Add rc.local to system startup:
  update-rc.d rc.local enable

  Hope this workaround will help to find out the source of the problem.
  It is obvious that something launches in wrong way. But what is that?

  Thanks!
