idmapd is given the argument -p /var/lib/rpc_pipes, but it expects the path to the NFS-specific subdirectory (i.e. its default is /rpc_pipefs/nfs).  The fix is to replace "-p /var/lib/rpc_pipes" with "-p /var/lib/rpc_pipes/nfs" in /etc/init.d/idmapd.  Without this change, idmapd does not work; an obvious symptom is doing ls -l on an nfs4 directory and seeing:

drwxr-xr-x   2 4294967294 4294967294  512 Apr 24  2004 ariana
drwxr-xr-x  11 4294967294 4294967294 1024 Feb 14  2001 baldo
drwxr-xr-x   2 4294967294 4294967294  512 Mar 29  2004 bazik
...

Note the bogus uid/gid.
