[CentOS] NFS mounts group name shows as nobody

I am using automount, but have tested mounting it manually and have the same issue. I will try changing the idmapd.conf on the server as well as the client and see if that helps.

Also as an FYI when I do  ls -n, the GID shows up as 99. UID is fine.

Thank you,

We had the same problems..
Changing the Domain in idmapd.conf on client and server helped to solve the problem..

Server is CentOS6, clients are CentOS 5 or 6..
Are you using automount or fstab?

I have some older fedora clients where the group name shows up fine, but newer CentOS 6 clients have the group name for NFS mounts show up as "nobody". The username shows up fine but the group name shows up as "nobody".
