Comment 44 for bug 1007293

I think (I hope), I have found the reason. It was apparmor. Maybe, there were profile updates in the past?!

I did the following:

$ sudo aa-complain rpcbind
$ sudo service rpcbind restart
$ sudo service ypbind restart
$ yptest
was ok and gave me the list of all users, groups and others

$ ls -l /net/remote-machine/remote-share/....
was ok and gave me the list of all files and directories, which fails in the last week!

$ sudo mount remote-host:/remote-share /mnt
does not give me any error message

All in all: Looks good.

By the way: In 10.04 the logs were much better. Since the introduction of unity, most logfiles (e.g. /var/log/messages) are empty and the remaining logs - I think - are much less informative.
