Small follow up: I noticed that the command rpc.idmapd with parameters like "-d ..." quits with the message, that the program must be configured through /etc/idmapd.conf and isn't runnable anymore by giving the parameters by command line.
The man(5) page of idmapd says nothing about it. Ok, its only a very small discrepancy but I want to tell.
