[ I haven't found an answer to this - the usual nobody:nobody issues appear to be domainname related and not in play here... ] What are the conditions where rpc.idmapd should be queried on an NFS client? I have a few that appears to be completely ignored, resulting in /home/* being presented as belonging to nobody:nobody. The same configuration is fine on other identically configured boxes. On two identically configured boxes, the following: killall rpc.idmapd && rpc.idmapd -f -vvvv shows queries during "ls -l /home" on box A, but nothing (ever) on box B (which is the problematic box). I have many details from an investigation a few weeks ago, but think it's prudent to keep the initial email brief. Here are some of those details: - 1 NFS server - 10 NFS clients - 6 (initially deployed boxes) list /home/* fine. - 4 (added later) have the nobody:nobody issue. - All CentOS 6.3 (64 bit) - All clients installed via same kickstart configs (w/ diff hostname) - All servers were reinstalled after the 4 newer nodes were added, so they should be identical. - diff'ing /etc dirs from good vs bad boxes reveals nothing significant.
