Content of idmapd.conf:
Server:
[General]
#Verbosity = 0
# The following should be set to the local NFSv4 domain name
# The default is the host's DNS domain name.
#Domain = local.domain.edu
Domain = peach.patch.mylan
Client:
[General]
#Verbosity = 0
# The following should be set to the local NFSv4 domain name
# The default is the host's DNS domain name.
#Domain = local.domain.edu
Domain = poppy.patch.mylan
Now one more question. The imap daemon is a mail server. How is it
that I need a mail server running to make LDAP and NFS work? Doesn't
seem to make sense to me.
