Description

If I'm undertanding this correctly I believe an unknown user should be mapped into the "nobody" user id... The behaviour that I don't understand is, why does my uid/gid on the client (500/500) appear untranslated on the server when I create a file on the client, see the last "log on the server", containing the line: Nov 19 12:32:48 helix rpc.idmapd[4051]: Server: (user) id "500" -> name "nobody" My understanding of nfsv4 is that uid 500 should stay local to the client, and should not be sent on the wire to the server. but instead "bellet" should. The behaviour that I expect is described in Figure3-1 on page 51, in the IBM document. Ideally, file ownership should be translated both when getting its attributes (from server to client: that's currently ok), but also when creating it (from client to server: that's where a problem lies IMO). What are you using to do the name to uid translation? NIS, ldap, ?? I use the local /etc/passwd file for name to uid translation. Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. And if you'd like to join the bug triage team to help make things better, check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
