Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nfs-common
I wanted to set up a small file server. Since it is not acceptable for me to have the same UID on all clients I decided to use NFS4 which should be able to solve that. I started with Ubuntu 11.04 server. What I did manage is access files (rw) if I have the same UID on client and server. If they differ I get an error message. I find that a bit surprising since I have the most basic setup which should work without trouble. /etc/exports on the server /data 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) /etc/idmapd.conf on client and server [General] Verbosity = 0 Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs Domain = local [Mapping] Nobody-User = nobody Nobody-Group = nogroup /etc/hosts on the server 127.0.0.1 localhost.local localhost 10.0.0.7 benjamin.local benjamin 10.0.0.10 zesi.local zesi ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters /etc/hosts on the client 127.0.0.1 localhost.local localhost 10.0.0.10 zesi.local zesi # Added by NetworkManager 10.0.0.7 benjamin.local benjamin ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters Hostnames on client and server (hostname command) zesi benjamin Dnsdomainname on client and server (dnsdomainname command) local But I get strange syslog entries Jun 13 21:43:42 zesi rpc.idmapd[10766]: nss_getpwnam: name '0' does not map into domain 'local' Jun 13 21:43:47 zesi rpc.idmapd[10766]: nss_getpwnam: name '1001' does not map into domain 'local' Jun 13 21:43:47 zesi rpc.idmapd[10766]: nss_getpwnam: name '1002' does not map into domain 'local' Jun 13 21:43:47 zesi rpc.idmapd[10766]: nss_getpwnam: name '1003' does not map into domain 'local' Jun 13 21:43:47 zesi rpc.idmapd[10766]: nss_getpwnam: name '1004' does not map into domain 'local' ** Affects: nfs-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799427 Title: NFS4 name resolving fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/799427/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
