Comment 5 for bug 335858

Actually I *think* the problem has more to do with whether the ldap_nss stuff is up and running before nfs.

If you restart nfs-common on a running system then ldap_nss is well and truly running and you should be OK. However at bootup when nfs is first started then this is an issue.

PS I reverted to NFS3 mounts to avoid mucking around with this.

So the problem seems very similar to mine. If it's really the case, it is
not due to LDAP, but only to NFSV4.

It seems that nfs-kernel-server needs nfs-common to be started. And vice et
versa.
The solution found on Debian bug analysis is to restart nfs-common in
rc.local so idmapd runs correctly, and users are correctly mapped.

Theory is where you know everything, but nothing works; practice is where
everything works, but nobody knows why. Here we combine theory with
practice; nothing works and nobody knows why !
