From "man exports": map_static This option enables static mapping. It specifies the name of the file that describes the uid/gid mapping, e.g. map_static=/etc/nfs/foobar.map The file's format looks like this # Mapping for client foobar: # remote local uid 0-99 - # squash these uid 100-500 1000 # map 100-500 to 1000-1500 gid 0-49 - # squash these gid 50-100 700 # map 50-100 to 700-750 This is /etc/exports: home 157.249.16.10(rw,map_static=/etc/map.nfs) /etc/map.nfs is just copied from the man page. This results in the following log entry: Nov 17 12:10:58 janus exportfs[4413]: Unknown keyword "map_static=/etc/map.nfs" in export file nov 17 12:10:58 janus exportfs: exportfs: Unknown keyword "map_static=/etc/map.nfs" in export file
knfsd doesnt support this feature. Someone has used an old unfsd manual page and not removed the gid mapping and ugidd references.
Of course it's a bug if someone used an old man page with options which aren't supported.
I'm running RedHat 6.1 with the standard rpms from RedHat. The man page has a full explanation of the map_static feature. I would hope that the plan is to add this feature rather than delete it from the documentation.
