I have the following: File Server: CentOS 6.3 kernel 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64 Head Node: CentOS 5.7 kernel 2.6.18-275.12.1.el5.573g0000 Backup1: CentOS 6.5 kernel 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 GPU: CentOS 6.4 kernel 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 Booting up all machines after the file server is up works fine. All ID's map fine. When I add a new user I first add them to the File Server and then I do it on the other machines. I get a warning that the home directory has already been created but that is fine. The ID's are consistent across machines. After an account is created (kehuang in this case) all is fine on the Head Node: drwxr-x--- 4 kehuang omg 153 Jan 23 18:54 kehuang drwxr-x--- 32 zwenzhou omg 4096 Jan 23 18:56 zwenzhou drwxr-x--- 35 mjohnson forestry 4096 Jan 24 00:26 mjohnson drwxr-x--- 118 cousins cousins 8192 Jan 24 10:43 cousins But on Backup1 and GPU I get "nobody" for the new user: drwxr-x--- 4 nobody omg 153 Jan 23 15:54 kehuang drwxr-x--- 32 zwenzhou omg 4096 Jan 23 15:56 zwenzhou drwxr-x--- 35 mjohnson forestry 4096 Jan 23 21:26 mjohnson drwxr-x--- 118 cousins cousins 8192 Jan 24 07:43 cousins The GID maps fine though, probably because it is not a new group. I have tried restarting rpcidmapd on the nodes but it doesn't help. The only thing I have found that works is a reboot. Has anyone run across this before? Anyone know a solution? It doesn't seem to be a idmapd.conf issue since it works fine until a new user is added. One odd thing though is that the id maps to 99:nobody instead of 65534:nfsnobody. Here is what idmapd.conf looks like on all machines: [General] Verbosity = 0 Domain = localdomain [Mapping] Nobody-User = nfsnobody Nobody-Group = nfsnobody [Translation] Method = nsswitch Thanks for your help.
