Hi,

I recently setup NFS4 server (centOS) . My client's are RHEL 5.7 . I have setup bind and mounted the NFS shares to the clients . I have few local accounts which has UID , GID same across all clients but doesn't exist in NFS server (/home is a NFS share and hosts the ssh public key) . I am able to ssh to the clients for the accounts which exist in the NFS server also but not able to connect to the users which doesn't exist in NFS server . For non existent server users , all I see is nobody:nobody as the permission ,

>idmapd translation is set to nsswitch in server and client,

Can anyone please advise what I am missing here,

Note : I am not using NIS / LDAP

Thanks,
Nick

All,

Only workaround that worked is to create no login accounts in the NFS server for the users . Later learnt that this widely followed everywhere , hence marking this thread as resolved,

Thanks,
Nick
