Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.0.6-3.1
Severity: important

Have have this "symptom" on several machines, And are struggling
to find out what causes this. This happnes both on server running
woody-based skolelinux/Debian-edu, and on servers running Sarge. The
server running woody based Debian-edu are exporting the filesystem to
Sarge-based Debian-edu workstations and Thin Client servers. Snice this
Is a production environment, causing an unusable system for 300+ user
(~200 workstations/thin-clients) I have set up a cron-job that checks
every 5 minute:
 if rcp.statd is running
   if not rpc.mountd is running
     restart nfs-kernel-server
     mail me
   fi
 fi

This happens every week or so. I've tried to look through the logs when
this happens, but I cant find any reason. But what I do find is this
in /var/log/user.log:
 May 24 09:17:22 tjener rpc.mountd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...
 May 24 09:17:22 tjener rpc.mountd: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP server after 
1 attempt(s)

I have now found this twice after rpc.mountd has died. 
on the Woody-installation, I'm running 
 nfs-kernel-server        1.0-2woody3

So this might me nss_ldap related. 

I've also seen this on one of the test-machines in my lab, running
sarge. The clients in my lab are running lessdisks, And there mountd
dies every time I reboot the lessdisks server. I'm not sure if lessdisks
might does an unclean umount, but I think I can reproduce the situation
here. I've turned on logging on my test-server:
 RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-d all"
But I have yet to find any debugging information. When I run mountd in
"non-daemon-mode", the services seems stable.

Any help debugging this would be appreciated.
