NAME
rpc.idmapd -- NFSv4 ID <-> Name Mapper
SYNOPSIS
rpc.idmapd [-v] [-f] [-p path] [-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.
-p path Specifies the location of the RPC pipefs to be path. The default value is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".
-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 -f -vvv
Runs rpc.idmapd printing all messages to console, and with a verbosity level of 3.
