tried to debug it by my own. I added some 'exec echo' s into the
idmapd.conf:

pre-start script

        exec echo "hihi"

        do_modprobe() {
..
        if ! mountpoint -q "$PIPEFS_MOUNTPOINT"
        then
                mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs "$PIPEFS_MOUNTPOINT"
        fi

        exec echo "2"

end script

exec echo "3"
exec rpc.idmapd

...

However i can't see those prints in the syslog, but the idmapper
is now running after a reboot.

I'd like to understand what is happening here. Because the next
step is getting autofs with ldap working after startup that is
also not working 'out of the box' with ubuntu. :(

Thanks for your help
