RPC.IDMAPD(8)

NAME

rpc.idmapd -- NFSv4 ID <-> Name Mapper

SYNOPSIS

rpc.idmapd [-v] [-f] [-d domain] [-p path] [-U username] [-G groupname]
           [-c path]

DESCRIPTION

rpc.idmapd is the NFSv4 ID <-> name mapping daemon. It provides functionality to the NFSv4 kernel client and server, to which it communicates via upcalls, by translating user and group IDs to names, and vice versa.

The options are as follows:

-v Increases the verbosity level (can be specified multiple

times).

-f Runs rpc.idmapd in the foreground and prints all output to

the terminal.

-d domain Set domain to domain. This is used internally by NFSv4 and

is typically assigned by the system administrator. By
default, domain is set to be the FQDN of the host, minus the hostname.

-p path Specifies the location of the RPC pipefs to be path. The

default value is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".

-U username Specifies the NFSv4 nobody user to be username. The default

value is "nobody".

-G groupname

Specifies the NFSv4 nobody group to be groupname. The default value is "nobody".

-c path Use configuration file path.

-C Client-only: perform no idmapping for any NFS server, even

if one is detected.

-S Server-only: perform no idmapping for any NFS client, even

if one is detected.

EXAMPLES

rpc.idmapd -d "citi.umich.edu" -f -vvv

Runs rpc.idmapd with the domain "citi.umich.edu" in the foreground, printing all messages to console, and with a verbosity level of 3.
