rpcbind: Cannot open '/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr' ... error message on bootup

[Niki Kovacs]

Hi,

I'm currently making test to integrate Ubuntu 12.04 into an existing 
network with central authentication using NIS/NFS (which will eventually 
be replaced by LDAP/NFS).

So far, integrating a Ubuntu client works well. The server's /home 
directories are mounted on the client on startup, and the NIS client is 
also working well, meaning a user that exists on the server can 
authenticate on the Ubuntu client and access his files.

I'm worried about an error message on startup though:

rpcbind: Cannot open '/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr' file for reading, errno 
2 (No
such file or directory)
rpcbind: Cannot open '/run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr' file for reading, errno 
2 (No
such file or directory)

I googled around a bit, vaguely found out this is an upstream (Debian) 
bug, but I'm not sure. Any suggestion what I can do about this?

Cheers,

Niki
