Ian, I went to verify the response I originally began for this message and used other accounts than my own for testing ls -l /home/username (before, I just used mine because I first tested with that and found this problem).
To my surprise, I found that the id mapping works fine for all of our user accounts *except* mine! This account has uid and gid of 900. I have other accounts with numbers below this, so it is not some minimum cutoff. I also have other accounts in my group (all with gid 900) which map the username properly but the gid for 900 is still shown as 'nobody' for them (as expected since that is how it is shown for my account. I discovered a change in nfs-utils which provides the new command nfsidmap (see its man page for details). I find that, if I run 'nfsidmap -c' after booting the problem is resolved. It appears that there has been a change in the way ids are mapped so that they are cached. And, something in our boot process must access my uid/gid (e.g. my account) before ypbind is run and so these get cached as 'nobody'. However, this begs the question of the startup ordering of rpcidmapd, ypbind and autofs since I have no special script of any sort that is run in between rpcidmapd and autofs. I will try to dig into this further, but we should not have to work around this caching issue.
