idmapd.conf -- configuration file for idmapd, the NFSv4 ID <-> Name Mapper
SYNOPSIS
Configuration file for idmapd, the NFSv4 ID <-> Name Mapper
DESCRIPTION
The idmapd.conf configuration file has two sections, initiated by the strings [General] and [Mapping]. Each section may contain lines of the
form
variable = value
The variables allowed in the General section are Verbosity, Pipefs-Directory, and Domain, whose values have the same effect as the arguments
to the -v, -p, and -d commandline options, respectively. The variables allowed in the Mapping section are Nobody-User and Nobody-Group,
which have the same effect as the -U and -G commandline options.
EXAMPLES
An example /etc/idmapd.conf file:
[General]
Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = localdomain
[Mapping]
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody

RPC.IDMAPD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual 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 communi-
cates 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.
