It is as properly configured as I could figure out. I set verbosity to 5 and it lists the correct domain on start-up and doesn’t report any explicit errors. On the non-functioning systems: (Fedora 20) There is no explicit configuration for a Pipefs-Directory in idmapd.conf (but it looks like it is using /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs). I figured I should leave this as the system default. The version of libnfsidmap is 0.25 nfs-utils is 1.3.0 (Ubuntu 14.04 and Mint 16) has exact same idmapd.conf as working 12.04 machines Version of libnfsidmap is 0.25-5 nfs-common is 1.2.8-6ubuntu1 The working systems (also CentOS 5.8 but I haven’t checked the versions there): (Ubuntu 12.04) libnfsidmap 0.25-1ubuntu2 nfs-common 1.2.5-3ubuntu3.1 On Apr 25, 2014, at 4:01 PM, Tom Haynes <thomas.haynes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Apr 25, 2014, at 1:35 PM, Craig Yoshioka <craigyk@xxxxxx> wrote: > >> 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" >> ... >> Apr 25 12:18:03 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nfs4_name_to_uid: calling nsswitch->name_to_uid >> Apr 25 12:18:03 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nss_getpwnam: name '11115@xxxxxxxxx' domain 'nimgs.com': resulting localname '11115' >> Apr 25 12:18:03 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nss_getpwnam: name '11115' not found in domain 'nimgs.com' >> Apr 25 12:18:03 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nfs4_name_to_uid: nsswitch->name_to_uid returned -2 >> Apr 25 12:18:03 server rpc.idmapd[433]: nfs4_name_to_uid: final return value is -2 >> Apr 25 12:18:03 server rpc.idmapd[433]: Client 0: (user) name "11115@xxxxxxxxx" -> id "65534" >> >> I’ve tried almost everything I can think of. >> 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?— > > HI Craig, > > If the id-mapping is not working via user names, the client will try to see if user ids will > work.
