[Bug 1428961] Re: idmapd not started when booting under systemd

[Jacqueline Brendel]

This doesn't seem to be fixed. I have two computers with up to date
packages running nfs+kerberos+sssd and there is no idmap service and all
my mounted stuff comes with those endlessly long ids indicating the
idmapping didn't work. -> Thus. Not fixed, not working, idmapd still
required on the client.

Title:
  idmapd not started when booting under systemd

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sorry for not getting a chance to test this before upload, but now
  that nfs-utils has support for systemd in the archive, I've rebooted
  and tested it on a system that uses nfs.

  I find that the idmapd service is not being started on boot when
  booting with systemd.

  $ pidof rpc.idmapd
  $ systemctl status nfs-idmapd -l
  ● nfs-idmapd.service - NFSv4 ID-name mapping service
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)

  Mar 05 22:31:24 virgil systemd[1]: Starting NFSv4 ID-name mapping service...
  Mar 05 22:31:24 virgil systemd[1]: Started NFSv4 ID-name mapping service.
  Mar 05 22:31:24 virgil systemd[1]: Unit nfs-idmapd.service is bound to inactive unit. Stopping, too.
  Mar 05 22:31:24 virgil systemd[1]: Stopping NFSv4 ID-name mapping service...
  Mar 05 22:31:24 virgil systemd[1]: Stopped NFSv4 ID-name mapping service.
  $

  Under upstart, it is started unconditionally, which is correct.
  idmapd is used on both clients and servers, and should be started
  whenever the nfs-common package is installed.

  I'm not sure where the bug lies; I don't completely understand the
  contents of /lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service.  The 'BindsTo=nfs-
  server.service' appears to be imply that it will only be started when
  nfs-server is started, and stopped when nfs-server is stopped, which
  is certainly incorrect.

  gssd is client-side only; idmapd and statd are used on both client and
  server and should be started unconditionally in nfs-common, AIUI.
