gconf (1.0.7) over NFS

[Rene Rebe <rene rebe gmx net>]

Hi al.

I currently experience some problems using GConf in the default config
over NFS. (All home-dirs are NFS mounted).

System: ROCKLinux, Linux-2.4.14, glibc-2.1.3, gcc-2.95.3, GConf-1.0.7.

Galeon gives:
** WARNING **: GConf error:
  Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is that you have an existing configuration server (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit)

Or GConf-1.0.7/test/testschemas:
.
Failed to set key `/testing/foo/tar' to `-1': Failed to contact configuration server (a likely cause of this is that you have an existing configuration server (gconfd) running, but it isn't reachable from here - if you're logged in from two machines at once, you may need to enable TCP networking for ORBit)

My /var/log/messages contains many lines like:
Nov 18 23:23:25 jackson kernel: lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.1.1
Nov 18 23:23:25 jackson kernel: lockd: failed to monitor 192.168.1.1

Nov 18 23:23:25 jackson gconfd (rene-16303): Failed to get lock for daemon, exiting: Failed to create or open '/home/rene/.gconfd/lock/ior'

All the rest works fine (KDE, GNOME ...)

When I unmount all NFS servers and run this on a local disc GConf works fine, too.
- Any idea (or only the next NFS Linux issue ??)

Please CC me, because I'm not on the list.
