[PATCH 0/2] Enable new keyring based id mapper for NFSv4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These two patches will enable the new id mapper
that uses the key-request up-call mechanism 
and uses the keyring to store the ids.

The up-call is made to the user level program
/usr/sbin/nfsidmap which does all the actual
id mapping. Using this mechanism will mean
the rpc.idmapd daemon will no longer be needed 
on the NFS client.

Now here is the trick... nfs-utils-1.2.5-7.fc17
has to be installed since it installs the correct
user level files to make all this work. If that
version is not install, the owner of all the files
on NFSv4 mounts will be our friend, Mr. nobody

Note, the key ring patch is a combination of two 
patches that are currently swimming their way upstream.
Its needed because, if by chance, our friend Mr. nobody 
does end up own some files, the key ring can be 
manipulated (by nfsidmap) so a new id mapping can be created.
