I'm using CentOS5.9 and mounting a remote directory via NFSv4. The nfs server is OpenIndiana 151.a.7 (i.e. Solaris).
Users bin and daemon have each others ID on the oposite system.
On OpenIndiana: User: bin; ID=2 User: daemon; ID=1
On CentOS: User: bin; ID=1 User: daemon; ID=2
That means if I create a file as daemon on the client (CentOS), it gets saved on the server as owner bin and it shows back on the client as owner bin.
I'm trying to use idmapd to define custom mapping but I can't get it working.
don't know for idmapd, but if you have a simple setup you could switch the uids of bin and daemon on your client (and chown all their files of course).
