Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.0.10-6
Severity: important
Perhaps this is a bug in the NIS package but since the fault affects
rpc.mountd I am filing here first. Feel free to reassign...
Summary
-------
I have a system which exports one filesystem.
Access to the export is controlled via NIS netgroups.
Mounting by clients is done via a NFS automount, using a NIS automount map.
Running /bin/ls from a remote system kills rpc.mountd on the exporting system.
This state of affairs renders the package basically unusable for us.
The same behaviour is observed for 'sarge' and 'etch' autofs clients.
Background
----------
I have a new 'etch' box, acting as the NFS server. Hostname 'oort'.
The export setup is fairly simple:
oort% cat /etc/exports
/data/OORT_1 @somenetgroup(rw,sync,root_squash,subtree_check)
The relevant package versions are shown at the bottom of this report.
The server setup is the default from the package
oort% grep -v \# /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server
RPCNFSDCOUNT=8
RPCNFSDPRIORITY=0
RPCMOUNTDOPTS=
NEED_SVCGSSD=
RPCSVCGSSDOPTS=
oort% grep -v \# /etc/default/nfs-common
STATDOPTS=
NEED_LOCKD=
NEED_IDMAPD=
NEED_GSSD=
The client system has these versions:
autofs 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-10
nfs-common 1.0.6-3.1
nfs-kernel-server 1.0.6-3.1
Description of Fault
--------------------
On the server, mountd is there at the start
oort# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server
oort# ps -fade|grep mountd
root 2811 1 0 11:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
root 2825 2769 0 11:48 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mountd
Then the client tries to automount the filesystem with an NIS-based mount map
client% ls /DATA/OORT_1
/bin/ls: /DATA/OORT_1: No such file or directory
On the server, the rpc.mountd just dies.
oort# ps -fade|grep mountd
root 2919 31400 0 11:56 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mountd
The same fault system occurs if I try from an 'etch' client system.
autofs 4.1.4-13
This does not occur if I do the automount on the server system, ie
oort% /bin/ls /DATA/OORT_1
lost+found
The client systems are able to retrieve rpcinfo from the server system,
and are able to automount exports from other Debian and Solaris systems,
all via the same NIS automount map.
client% rpcinfo -p oort

I ran strace of the rpc.mountd process and the client /bin/ls process.
I can send those by separate email, but the bottom line is this:
(strace -f /tmp/foo -p 2811)
2811 poll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, 5000) = 1
2811 recvfrom(10,
"o.\336>\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1"..., 8800, 0,
{sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(794), sin_addr=inet_addr("130.155.1
92.40")}, [16]) = 32
2811 close(10) = 0
2811 write(2, "rpc.mountd: nss_nis/nis-netgrp.c"..., 87) = 87
2811 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0
2811 tgkill(2811, 2811, SIGABRT) = 0
2811 --- SIGABRT (Aborted) @ 0 (0) ---
When I try changing the exports file to use network addresses instead of
netgroups, I get normal behaviour:
# showmount -e
Export list for oort:
/data/OORT_1 130.155.194.207
client# mkdir /mnt/test
client# mount -tnfs oort:/data/OORT_1 /mnt/test
client# /bin/ls /mnt/test
lost+found
and rpc.mountd does not die.
