SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

11     rpc.idmapd is the NFSv4 ID <-> name mapping daemon.  It provides func‐
12     tionality to the NFSv4 kernel client and server, to which it communicates
13     via upcalls, by translating user and group IDs to names, and vice versa.
14
15     The options are as follows:
16
17     -v           Increases the verbosity level (can be specified multiple
18                  times).
19
20     -f           Runs rpc.idmapd in the foreground and prints all output to
21                  the terminal.
22
23     -d domain    Set domain to domain.  This is used internally by NFSv4 and
24                  is typically assigned by the system administrator.  By
25                  default, domain is set to be the FQDN of the host, minus the
26                  hostname.
27
28     -p path      Specifies the location of the RPC pipefs to be path.  The
29                  default value is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".
30
31     -U username  Specifies the NFSv4 nobody user to be username.  The default
32                  value is "nobody".
33
34     -G groupname
35                  Specifies the NFSv4 nobody group to be groupname.  The
36                  default value is "nobody".
37
38     -c path      Use configuration file path.
39
40     -C           Client-only: perform no idmapping for any NFS server, even
41                  if one is detected.
42
43     -S           Server-only: perform no idmapping for any NFS client, even
44                  if one is detected.
45

EXAMPLES

47     rpc.idmapd -d "citi.umich.edu" -f -vvv
48
49     Runs rpc.idmapd with the domain "citi.umich.edu" in the foreground,
50     printing all messages to console, and with a verbosity level of 3.
