There are not any nfs entries in /etc/fstab Problem: idmapd/sm-notify do not start (because there are no nfs entries in fstab) Workaround: Define some static entry in /etc/fstab for a nfs mount not related to the automounter. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Inital Install of openSuSE 11.3 Final 2. Configure NIS, enable Automounter as part of NIS setup in YaST 3. Do not add any nfs entry to /etc/fstab 4. Do not configure NFS Client in YaST Actual Results: idmapd and sm-notify are not started. Files under automount mount points may not be available due to ownership problems. Expected Results: Expected result: idmapd/sm-notify should be started if automounter is running. The normal environment will contain additional servers, which include a working NIS Server with maps for automounter (auto.home), and a NFS server to serve the /home mount points specified in the NIS maps. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Same problem, home and other NFS4 directory mappings are all mounted by autofs in a NIS environment, but idmapd isn't starting. I'd suggest this should be categorized as a bug rather than an enhancement; it doesn't seem the correct solution to have to activate an additional service manually to cover for something that autofs isn't doing (kind of takes the 'auto' out of 'autofs' ;) In our shop at least, this has become a fairly important issue as we have some of the teams using an editor app through wine and wine is failing on an ownership test of the users' home dirs that are being automounted but with no idmapper. thanks N -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Currently if you want idmapd started, you need to select NFS4_SUPPORT in sysconfig. similarly to get gssd you need NFS_SECURITY_GSS set.

OK, so I think it is fair to require that the user sets up the "NFS client" in /etc/sysconfig/nfs according to his environment, even when using AutoFS.

I believe there is a policy that we should only start daemons that are known to be needed (though I could be wrong about that). In that case we should remove the "NEED_*=yes" lines from the above patch. But then would that actually meet the need?

Well, the generic problem would remain: "if the user doesn't edit /etc/sysconfig/nfs, idmapd won't be started". It would just change the variable users have to set.
