Well, it still complains with --disable-nfsv4:

svcgssd_proc.c:47:22: nfsidmap.h: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [dep] Error 1
make[3]: *** [dep] Error 2
make[2]: *** [dep] Error 2

Should the configure script assume '--disable-gss' when --disable-nfsv4 is=

given?=20

Well, with --disable-nfsv4 --disable-gss and without '--enable-secure-statd=
'=20
the statd seems to work fine. As I posted a very long time ago, we are seei=
ng=20
messages like this

lockd: cannot monitor 129.206.21.200
lockd: failed to monitor 129.206.21.200
statd: server localhost not responding, timed out
nsm_mon_unmon: rpc failed, status=3D-5
lockd: cannot monitor 129.206.21.200
lockd: failed to monitor 129.206.21.200


very often if '--enable-secure-statd' is enabled. This also causes much=20
trouble to other services as portmap, ssh, nis, cron, etc. and makes them=20
also crash (not so good as we can't reboot the systems).
Unfortunately this also happens randomly to one/some of our clients rather=
=20
often since we switched to a new server in summer, don't know the reasons=20
yet.
I will now try to enable secure-statd, compiling with debug options and hop=
e=20
the statd core files will help to understand the problem. Though, maybe tho=
se=20
problems are already fixed?


Cheers,
 Bernd
