As long as idmapd is *running* it typically doesn't need to be configured specifically.


Now one more question.  The imap daemon is a mail server.  How is it that I need a mail server running to make LDAP and NFS work?  Doesn't seem to make sense to me.


idmapd is not imapd.  idmapd (aka rpc.idmapd) is a helper for NFSv4 which should be run on the server.  It shouldn't be required on the client.

A couple of points: 1) Your original message isn't specific about the problem that you're seeing, but if idmapd is involved, then the problem isn't related to LDAP.   NFSv4 will work the same way whether you're using NIS or LDAP.  Pretty much everything other than NSS and PAM will, in fact.  2) I don't recommend rolling your own LDAP services.  It's very easy to let sensitive information leak.  Using FreeIPA for LDAP and KRB5 is much easier and a lot more secure.
