On my CentOS 6.3 machine, in /etc/idmapd.conf I've updated the "[Mapping]" section of the config file: Nobody-User = paulbsch Nobody-Group = paulbsch

But the mapping is not working. Files still show up as being owned by "nobody".

On my Fedora 14 machine, with the exact same changes to /etc/idmapd.conf, the mapping works perfectly and the files show up as being owned by "paulbsch".

On the CentOS 6.3 machine: nfs-utils-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64 nfs-utils-lib-1.1.5-4.el6.x86_64

On the F14 machine: nfs-utils-1.2.3-6.fc14.x86_64 nfs-utils-lib-1.1.5-3.fc14.x86_64

Would anybody have any idea why this is does not work on CentOS as it does in F14?

I'm keeping my eye on:

[Bug 823848] NFSv4 idmapper maps files to user nobody

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823848

Some of the comments suggest a patch is needed in nfs-utils.

The temporary workaround, in the link listed there, works for now.

Thanks!
