NAME

       nfsmapid - NFS user and group id mapping daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/nfs/nfsmapid

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. You can, however, administratively configure nfsmapid in  one  of  the
       following ways:

	 o  Specify the NFSMAPID_DOMAIN parameter in nfs(4)

	 o  Specify the _nfsv4idmapdomain DNS resource record.

       Please refer to the System Administration Guide: Network Services for further details.

NOTES

       The nfsmapid service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/nfs/mapid

       Administrative  actions	on  this  service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.

       If it is disabled, it will be enabled by mount_nfs(1M), share_nfs(1M), and automountd(1M), unless  its	    application/auto_enable  prop-
       erty is set to false.

       This daemon might not exist in a future release of Solaris.
