And this is indeed the case. The whole logic in autofs around this is wrong in so many ways I'm afraid to count!.. :( For now I suggest to actually run rpcbind on the server, this issue needs to be dealt with upstream. Neither version of the code is right. Since there's an easy workaround for you, and this issue does not default settings (you have to explicitly disable rpcbind on the server for it to stop working), and even more -- it actually _works_, but with a several-second timeout (at least here, please reply if it is not the case for you), I downgrade this bugreport to wishlist severity. For added fun, in 5.0.6-1 here /net map does not work at all, the daemon segfaults on first access. I haven't looked, may be that's fixed by some patch from upstream git, -- there were several mentions of SIGSEGVs there. 5.0.6-2 actually works, but /net map does not work at all if portmapper is not running on the server I'm trying to access (it can't get list of mounts in that case). For even more added fun, the portmapper call it tries to perform can be finished immediately, since the server replies with the appropriate ICMP (port unreachable), yet automount relies on timeouts only. In order to activate checking for port unreachable replies, the (UDP) socket needs to be in connected state, that's just one extra syscall and these stupid timeouts will go away. Overall, the code quality is very very low, I'm not sure it is possible to maintain this package without very serious work with upstream first.
