When upgrading from 10.3 with NFS automounts, nfs shares are not useable (uid is not translated) because idmapd is not running by default.

openSUSE 10.3 seems to mount automounted shares using nfsv3 by default, whereas 10.4 uses nfsv4. It seems that nfs services (idmapd, gssd) are started only if nfsv4 shares are mounted explicidly in fstab and not when they are mounted with automount. This error probably only occurs when you upgrade an existing 10.3 installation.

Fix: set NFS_START_SERVICES to YES by default in /etc/sysconfig/nfs. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade from an existing installation with opensuse 10.3
2. try to access an automounted nfs share (no nfs mounts in fstab)
3. uid is mapped to some unusable value
Actual Results:  
In my case nfs mounted home directories were not accessible properly, because uid and gid were different from the expected values (uid and gid of the logged in user)

Expected Results:  
Start nfs services by default (set NFS_START_SERVICES to YES in /etc/sysconfig/nfs
