Thank you for your reply to my incompetent query.
Okay, I'm a bit dyslectic. I see that I should have seen idmap but I
saw imap. I missed the "d". That leads me to another question:
I don't see a package that contains idmapd. When I try to install it I get:
No package idmapd available.
No package idmap available.
I don't see idmapd in the Service Configuration GUI.
rpm -qa | grep idmap
libsss_idmap-1.13.3-60.el6_10.2.x86_64
How might one install a daemon by the name idmapd on CentOS 6?
