I can confirm seeing this as well. Furthermore, I've narrowed it down by trying multiple linux distros (ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04, mint 15, debian, centos) and different ldap systems (ldap, ldapd, sssd).
The strangest instance is that ubuntu 12.04 desktop is broken but 12.04 server works. If I upgrade a 12.04 server by installing the desktop package, it continues working (but not if I install 12.04 desktop directly from CD). To be clear. In all the configurations I've tested I can get ldap and nss/pam working correctly (getent shows all the correct entries and I can su and login as ldap users) but on some machines, Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop and Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop AND Server NFS4 idmap is broken with ldap users. Sometimes the correct user and groups show up on the files, but trying to chown and chmod the files fails. THe system log also fills up with errors of the type the OP described, where idmap is tyring to map a userid number as a string rather than username@domain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097251 Title: NFSv4 server - no uid/gid mapping To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/1097251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
