nfsmapid(1M) System Administration Commands nfsmapid(1M)
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.
