Thanks for all your answers!

I disabled everything except "portmap" since "sgi_fam" seems to be
running aswell. That's OK, since I wanted to speed up boot and now
idmapd should not start, so it will be faster.
I'll see when I reboot next time. If you don't hear from me in the
future, something really went wrong *g* ;-)

Thanks again,
Hannes.
