[gentoo-user] NFS + user id mapping

[gentoo-user] NFS + user id mapping

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

I've got several boxes (non-gentoo) mounting each filesystems of 
each other via NFS, and I've added a new gentoo box (as server). 
It seems to work quite well, but the UID mapping doesn't work.

How can I set it up ?


thx

If you are using NFSv3 there is no real user mapping, NFS just uses
the numerical UID and assumes that they are consistent on all boxes.
User mapping (and authentification) are existant in NFSv4, though I
never got around to use it (mainly because NFSv3 works fine for me
as I'm just using it on boxes in a private LAN without any security
concerns).
