[opensuse-autoinstall] nfs_server: cannot update idmap.conf
Hi list, We're using SuSE 10.3 retail autoyast, and with some recent advice from Uwe, it works like a charm, except for one minor detail: When reaching the System Configuration stage, specifically the Configuring nfs_server step, we get a pop-up saying "Unable to write to idmapd.conf". A quick check under the hood at that point reveals that the /etc/idmapd.conf file is indeed present and has some content. The permissions on the file allows root to write to it. /etc/idmapd.conf seems to be part of the nfs-client package, which seems to be installed alright. It's a minor annoyance, but still, the installation is now not really unattended, since we have to be there to click OK on the pop-up to let the installation continue. Any advice appreciated.

Martin, we had that problem on SP1 and it was fixed by you (#260723). Did you port that fix to trunk too? I can't find that in the changelog. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug now playing Pride and Fall - The Painful Regret -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

I only ported it now. I will ask for a maintenance update for 10.3. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a reasonable workaroud, except for entirely omitting the NFS server section from the profile, or patching the code.

Does any one know of a workaround? /L -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
