Comment 12 for bug 614731

This is very painful problem and I haven't been able to find decent workaround even with days reading these posts.
My system is 10.04, wifi (ath9k) and /home, and few other directories automounted. Server is still running 8.04, ldap, nfs, samba etc. There are few clients in my network and all have similar problems.
So what happens on the client side is that I can boot normally, log in (using ldap uid's), and work normally with network drives. But when I try to "restart" or "shutdown" the client in gnome session, it freezes completely and never recovers. The only procedure that somehow works is to 1st log off and then shutdown / re-start
I have changed wpa_ifupdown in rc0.d and rc6.d from S15.. to S34.. to postpone the network interface stoppage after unmounts should happen - however no visible difference in the behavior.
Final annoying piece of information: syslog is almost empty from shutdown event related info.
Hope that some-one is working on this, I could run few trials and traces when needed.
