I've used linux (centos) nfs4 to OI servers for a few years with better
results than nfs3.
You do need to set the linux clients up carefully.
These are my notes:
NFS 4 setup
Linux
/etc/idmapd.conf

Hi Harry,
It's possible you have somehow mounted the filesystem locally with
noexec (unlikely, but you can check with mount | grep /projects/dv and
make sure noexec is not in the options).
But at a guess, it's more likely you may have the wrong username mapping
since NFSv4 may need
I used NIS when I was doing this, while I was beta testing Solaris 9 and
had a Linux client to work with, and that managed to work pretty well,
given I didn't have any connectivity issues between the hosts.
I know that solution is kinda deprecated, but it's pretty complicated to
set up LDAP
You don't even need NIS or LDAP. Plain /etc/passwd works fine, either
by making sure the necessary user/uid mappings and passwd files are the
same on all systems (if using NFS v2/v3) or not even bothering with the
uid's matching if using NFSv4.
(Non-matching uid's is kind of the point of
I don't know if things have changed but a couple of years ago I had to
force Linux to v3 or things would hang or otherwise not work reliably. Sadly I
don't recall the details only the lesson to force v3 on Linux clients.
Something about the Linux v4 implementation at the time only

Host naming convention for clarity

I need a current modern walk thru of what it takes to setup nfs
serving, so that the clients' users are able to access rw and run
scripts or binaries.
First a quite description of the situation:
First and formost I am a terrrible green horn. I've rarely used nfs.
And never with solaris as
