In a VirtualBox test environment (combined server, gateway, workstation and in addition five diskless workstations which are forced to use KDM and NFS by setting DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER=/usr/bin/kdm in lts.conf) I've rebooted the main server 7 times; logging into randomly chosen workstations was successful each time. As reported, I've disabled nscd netgroup caching. This might serve as a workaround until a real fix for the problem is available.

Yes, this is it, I guess. Not 1 in 5 reboot, probably 4 on 5.

Again netgroup problems
Hi, yeterday evening ath the end the WS login was ok on 4 clients... This morning still functional. Then I wanted to set async mode to nfs and doing this i rebooted the tjener instead of restarting only nfs services (I'v been lazy), and SURPRISE. Login is not any more possible. Even reverting back to sync mode doersn't change, so i guess the triggering event has been the reboot, not the nfs modification. More. Calling nscd -i hangs for long time. Thus i restarted manually nscd and nslcd, after this nscd -i started running again. But still no WS login. I'm slowly thinking that there is some kind of race condition at boot between ncsd/autofs/nfs4. Woould be wise if someboby else could try to reproduce my events.
