LinuxQuestions.org - Mounting /home via nfs

Hi all

I have a server running centos 4 with /home exported like this:
/home *(rw,sync,map_daemon)

And a workstation running kubuntu wich mounts /home from the server like this (fstab):

server:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0

Both machines have the same user account but the uid's are different, 500 on the server & 1000 on the workstation.

As you can see from the exports file, I am trying to map the uids but for some reason it is not working. If I ls -lh on the workstation, it shows that the files & dirs in the users home dir as 500 (server).

I have nfs-common package installed on the workstation and /sbin/rpc.ugidd is running. On the server, /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd is also running.

I think I must be missing something here, can anyone enlighten me?

Many thanks
