Description Erik Logtenberg 2006-09-02 07:56:40 UTC 
Hi,

Whith NFSv4 one needs the rpc.idmapd daemon to map usernames to numeric ID's, since NFSv4 uses strings containing usernames instead of numeric user ID's like versions 2 and 3 of the NFS protocol.
This rpc.idmapd has to be started on both the NFS server and the NFS client.

Gentoo currently only starts rpc.idmapd on the NFS server, with the /etc/init.d/nfs initscript.
On the client however, rpc.idmapd isn't started automatically.

Perhaps the /etc/init.d/nfsmount initscript is a good place to do this.

Kind regards,

Erik Logtenberg.
