portmap-5b-r8 introduces a new patch (portmap-4.0-rpc_user.patch) that makes portmap to try to setuid() to a user "rpc", and, if no such user exists, to the default user "bin". I use NFS to mount 3 network filesystems on my system. Since I've upgraded to portmap-5b-r8, I see a one minute delay between the first and the next two NFS mounts. Solution: Add a user "rpc" in /etc/passwd (perhaps as an alias for "bin"). Even better: The ebuild should create that user.
This was annoying me too so I added the following patch to the portmap-5b-r8.ebuild to shutup portmap's whining in my logs. portmap uses port 111, which is verified by /etc/services, and 111 doesn't seem to conflict with anything else on my system, so: + +pkg_postinst() { + enewgroup rpc 111 + enewuser rpc 111 /bin/false /dev/null rpc +}

all set now, thanks. I didn't bump the revision because it looks like robbat2 is in the middle of some changes already in there, but I added the pkg_postinst suggested by gatto.
