idmapd is given the argument -p /var/lib/rpc_pipes, but it expects the path to the NFS-specific subdirectory (i.e. its default is /rpc_pipefs/nfs). The fix is to replace "-p /var/lib/rpc_pipes" with "-p /var/lib/rpc_pipes/nfs" in /etc/init.d/idmapd. Without this change, idmapd does not work; an obvious symptom is doing ls -l on an nfs4 directory and seeing: drwxr-xr-x 2 4294967294 4294967294 512 Apr 24 2004 ariana drwxr-xr-x 11 4294967294 4294967294 1024 Feb 14 2001 baldo drwxr-xr-x 2 4294967294 4294967294 512 Mar 29 2004 bazik ...
