When I start idmapd with the initscript at /etc/init.d/idmapd, the daemon doesn't start. This is with net-fs/idmapd-1.5 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-fs/idmapd-1.5 2. /etc/init.d/idmapd start Actual Results: The daemon silently fails to startup: [13:58:47 alexander@server:/etc/init.d] $ sudo /etc/init.d/idmapd start * Starting idmapd ... [ ok ] [13:59:04 alexander@server:/etc/init.d] $ ps awux | grep -i idm 1000 25331 0.0 0.1 2696 772 pts/4 S+ 13:59 0:00 grep -i idm Expected Results: The daemon should be up. The daemon doesn't come up, because the directory /var/lib/rpc_pipes doesn't exist. In /etc/init.d/idmapd, the directory should get created, as there are already some safety checks which might create the directory on pre-2.6 kernels.
