Thanks for the hint!! just mentioned that i set NEED_IDMAPD=y instead of =yes Now the idmapd job can be started with service idmapd start. However the logfile is empty: local@vogone:~$ cat /etc/default/nfs-common # If you do not set values for the NEED_ options, they will be attempted # autodetected; this should be sufficient for most people. Valid alternatives # for the NEED_ options are "yes" and "no". # Do you want to start the statd daemon? It is not needed for NFSv4. NEED_STATD= # Options for rpc.statd. # Should rpc.statd listen on a specific port? This is especially useful # when you have a port-based firewall. To use a fixed port, set this # this variable to a statd argument like: "--port 4000 --outgoing-port 4001". # For more information, see rpc.statd(8) or http://wiki.debian.org/SecuringNFS STATDOPTS= # Do you want to start the idmapd daemon? It is only needed for NFSv4. NEED_IDMAPD=yes # Do you want to start the gssd daemon? It is required for Kerberos mounts. NEED_GSSD= local@vogone:~$ sudo vim /etc/default/nfs-common [sudo] password for local: local@vogone:~$ sudo service idmapd restart restart: Unknown instance: local@vogone:~$ sudo service idmapd start idmapd start/running, process 2295 local@vogone:~$ cat /var/log/idmapd.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927908 Title: rpc.idmapd refuses to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/927908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
