I have a FreeBSD server with several NFSv4 shares. I have several linux clients (Ubuntu 12.04) that connect just fine and are able to use the NFS shares with 0 problems. But I’ve run into idmap problems with some newer linux distros ( Mint 16, Ubuntu 14.04 ) where chown as root sets file ownership as nobody (the idmap operation fails). Just to be clear, chown as root is working fine from the Ubuntu 12.04 machines. This poses a problem since some desktop GUIs like to do this sort of thing when creating config files in user home directories, and so user GUI logins fail. the logs have a lot of this: Apr 25 12:17:51 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nfs4_name_to_uid: calling nsswitch->name_to_uid Apr 25 12:17:51 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nss_getpwnam: name 'craigyk@xxxxxxxxx' domain 'nimgs.com': resulting localname 'craigyk' Apr 25 12:17:51 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nfs4_name_to_uid: nsswitch->name_to_uid returned 0 Apr 25 12:17:51 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nfs4_name_to_uid: final return value is 0 Apr 25 12:17:51 server rpc.idmapd[433]: Client 0: (user) name "craigyk@xxxxxxxxx" -> id "11115" ...

The users are being served from Samba4. The uid and gid are the same on all clients. Why is idmap trying to lookup the user id by it’s user id?-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
