Bug Description
Binary package hint: portmap
I am running automount (autofs) for my NFS mounts. When I log out then back in I cannot get to the mounts any more. I need to run
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure portmap <choose No>
$ sudo service portmap restart
to get them working again. Restarting alone doesn't fix it.
This is happening on two machines both running Lucid 10.04 right after an upgrade. One is a headless server and the other is my laptop. I have a third netbook that I put a fresh install on and it does not have this issue.

How are you trying to restart it? Is portmap even running at this point?
The only effect dpkg-reconfigure has is to let you pick whether portmap should listen only on loopback, or on all interfaces. However, portmap doesn't reconfigure itself, so there should be no need ot run this command more than once ever. Is the timestamp on /etc/default/ portmap changing in between these invocations of dpkg-reconfigure?
