Anyone have any ideas rpc.idmapd is running

I'm at a loss google doesn't seem to be helping much.

Re: [Solved] NFS Permissions

In your server dmesg, indicates an idmapd problem

"nfsd: nfsv4 idmapping failing: has idmapd not been started?"

add "-vvv" to IDMAPD_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf to get more verbose messages in logs (/var/log/messages.log and/or /var/log/errors.log)

check /etc/idmapd.conf
- domain has to be the same value  on client and server
- check that the rpc_pipefs is getting mounted

check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny that the services are being allowed

Re: [Solved] NFS Permissions

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the late relpy, been slightly busy these last few days!

I needed to set the following two variables in /etc/conf.d/nfs-common on the client. Seems as if the autodetect was failing.

# Do you want to start the statd daemon? It is not needed for NFSv4.
NEED_STATD="no"

# Do you want to start the idmapd daemon? It is only needed for NFSv4.
NEED_IDMAPD="yes"
