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.
