I'm using CentOS5.9 and mounting a remote directory via NFSv4. The nfs server is OpenIndiana 151.a.7 (i.e. Solaris). Users bin and daemon have each others ID on the oposite system. On OpenIndiana: User: bin; ID=2 User: daemon; ID=1 On CentOS: User: bin; ID=1 User: daemon; ID=2 That means if I create a file as daemon on the client (CentOS), it gets saved on the server as owner bin and it shows back on the client as owner bin. I'm trying to use idmapd to define custom mapping but I can't get it working. ======= cat /etc/idmapd.conf [General] Verbosity = 5 Domain = local [Mapping] Nobody-User = nobody Nobody-Group = nobody [Translation] Method = static,nsswitch [Static] bin@local = daemon ======= service rpcidmapd restart In /var/log/messages: Apr 16 11:26:37 tzalt rpc.idmapd[29848]: libnfsidmap: using domain: local Apr 16 11:26:37 tzalt rpc.idmapd[29848]: libnfsidmap: processing 'Method' list Apr 16 11:26:37 tzalt rpc.idmapd[29848]: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin libnfsidmap_static.so for method static Apr 16 11:26:37 tzalt rpc.idmapd[29848]: libnfsidmap: loaded plugin libnfsidmap_nsswitch.so for method nsswitch Apr 16 11:26:37 tzalt rpc.idmapd[29849]: Expiration time is 600 seconds.

But, I used user daemon to create it. Any suggestion how can I get this ownership in sync?
