Bonjour,

I try to use NIS and autofs to setup a local network. When a user wants
to log on a client through gdm it is impossible. This requires that
nfslock run on the client and on the server, but I am unable to start
nfslock on the server:

~  ~]# service nfslock start
Démarrage de NFS statd :                                  [  OK  ]

But immediately after that if you ask for the status of nfslock, you get:

~ ~]# service nfslock status
rpc.statd est mort mais le fichier pid existe

that means that rpc.statd is died but the pid file exists.

Who could help me? This is really irritating!

I run FC3 on the server and all packages are up to date.

Thank you.
