I think (I hope), I have found the reason. It was apparmor. Maybe, there were profile updates in the past?!
I did the following: $ sudo aa-complain rpcbind $ sudo service rpcbind restart $ sudo service ypbind restart $ yptest was ok and gave me the list of all users, groups and others $ ls -l /net/remote-machine/remote-share/.... was ok and gave me the list of all files and directories, which fails in the last week! $ sudo mount remote-host:/remote-share /mnt does not give me any error message All in all: Looks good. By the way: In 10.04 the logs were much better. Since the introduction of unity, most logfiles (e.g. /var/log/messages) are empty and the remaining logs - I think - are much less informative.
