NAME
nfsmapid — NFS user and group id mapping daemon
DESCRIPTION
The
nfsmapid
daemon maps to and from NFS version 4 owner and owner_group identification
attributes and local UID and GID numbers used by both the NFS version 4
client and server.
nfsmapid
uses the passwd and group entries in the
/etc/nsswitch.conf
file to direct how it performs the mappings.
The
nfsmapid
daemon has no external, customer-accessible interfaces.
System administrators, however, can configure
nfsmapid
in one of the following ways:
Specify the
NFSMAPID_DOMAIN
parameter in
/etc/default/nfs.
Specify the
_nfsv4idmapdomain
DNS resource record.
WARNINGS
This daemon might not exist in a future release of HP-UX.
