This executes rpcidmapd, with NFS service. The rpcidmapd maps usernames to UID and GID numbers.
Service Control
To manage the rpcidmapd service on demand, use the service tool or run the /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd script directly:
# /sbin/service rpcidmapd
Usage: /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd {start|stop|restart|condstart|condrestart|status}
# /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd
Usage: /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd {start|stop|restart|condstart|condrestart|status}
The available commands are:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| start | Start the rpcidmapd daemon. |
| stop | Stop the rpcidmapd daemon. |
| restart | Equivalent to a stop and then a start command sequence. |
| condstart | This is the same as a start command. |
| condrestart | If the rpcidmapd daemon is currently running, this is the same as a restart command. If the daemon is not running, no action is taken. Often used in RPM package installation to avoid starting a service not already running. |
| status | If the rpcidmapd daemon is running, report its PID (Process ID). If not running, report that, too. |
Configuration
To manage the rpcidmapd service at boot time, use chkconfig tool:
# chkconfig --list rpcidmapd rpcidmapd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
# chkconfig rpcidmapd on
# chkconfig --list rpcidmapd rpcidmapd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
The rpcidmapd service has no configuration file and cannot be customized.
