[K12OSN] SOLVED: Problems with Firefox, OO and KDE apps start up speed with SMBLDAP

[Julian Yap]

Hi all,

Indeed it was a NFS locking issue which occurs when the Home
directories are mounted via NFS.

It's something similar to what's described here:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/sgi/faq/apps/section-26.html

I had IPTables firewall running on the NFS/SMBLDAP server.  

I needed to statically assign the NFS Lock Manager port (since
it's randomly assigned) and open up that port.
An excellent guide here:

Also:

There were some other NFS related ports I needed to fix too (and
set to static) according to the above link.
