Hi,

I have realized that some of the patches to the idmapd and nfsserver/nfs 
startup scripts I contemplated (but unfortunately did not submit, mea culpa!) 
were nevertheless integrated into 10.1.

There's one missing, though: I found out that on an NFS4 server, the NFS 
server must start BEFORE idmapd does, because the user ID mapping gets wrong 
otherwise: on NFS 4 clients, UID/GID is always shown as nobody, even though 
access itself is granted to the users. Therefore, the mapping works only in 
one direction, namely client -> server.

So, in my opinion (and the patch is tested, of course), it should be something 
like this:

--- idmapd.org  2006-06-21 07:59:18.524482758 +0200

After applying the patch, "insserv idmapd" must be run, of course.

Best regards
