Tribulation of an OES Linux admin : "Adminusd proc: zero length read."

We just got call from end-users from a branch office complaining they can't access the shared files.

As the shared files are stored on an NSS linux volume (DOI:), I tried to open the volume from my desktop : not possible.

After ssh'ing to the server, a "ncpcon" showed the volume was not mounted. "mount DOI" went back with a "fail error reason=152".

I thought the ncp2nss process had an issue, so I restared it with "/etc/init.d.ncp2nss restart".

Still not mounting the DOI volume.

A look to /var/log/messages showed:
Dec 21 15:42:44 victoire adminfs daemon: Adminusd proc: zero length read.
Dec 21 15:42:44 victoire adminfs daemon: adminusd: Handling function aborted

So I killed the adminusd process, restarted manualy with "/opt/novell/sbin/adminusd", restarted the ncp2nss again.

And it is now running.
