This is one of those simple-been-doing-this-forever things that, for some reason, has me stumped today.
When I try to NFS (v4) mount a directory, the user/group ownership shows up as user "nobody" even though /etc/passwd has values for the correct user names. How do I get it to mount with the correct user IDs?
Hume is the server, running CentOS 6, all updates applied, maybe a week or two ago Bender is the client, running CentOS 6, all updates applied, maybe a week or two ago.
### HUME ###
Hume has a backup saved in /home/spfs.450, the directory that I'm trying to export. [root@hume ~]# ll /home/spfs.450/ drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 3 Oct 8 2009 y.spfs drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 3 Feb 1 2010 yts.spfs --SNIP--
Hume is exporting with /etc/exports /home/spfs.450 192.168.254.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,no_subtree_check,mp,no_acl,insecure,no_root_squash)
Hume has appropriate /etc/passwd entries: [root@hume ~]# grep -i apache /etc/passwd apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin
To be sure, the files are numerically id'd as 48: [root@hume ~]# ls -ln /home/spfs.450/ drwxr-xr-x 3 48 48 3 Oct 8 2009 y.spfs drwxr-xr-x 3 48 48 3 Feb 1 2010 yts.spfs --SNIP--
Nothing shows in /var/log/messages either when I enable the export or when it's mounted by bender. [root@bender ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages
### BENDER ###
Bender is mounting the backup with the following command: [root@bender ~]# /bin/mount -t nfs 192.168.254.9:/home/spfs.450 /home/spfs.450
Files show up with the wrong user name. [root@bender ~]# ll /home/spfs.450/ drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 3 Oct 8 2009 y.spfs drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 3 Feb 1 2010 yts.spfs --SNIP--
Bender as appropriate /etc/passwd entries: [root@bender ~]# grep -i apache /etc/passwd apache:x:48:48:Apache:/var/www:/sbin/nologin
Nothing shows in /var/log/messages when I mount the export on Bender. [root@bender ~]# tail /var/log/messages
