How to configure a fixed user ID on an NFS server?

Solution 1

Put -mapall=user into your exports file.

See man exports for details

Solution 2

This is possible, look at the User ID mapping section in the exports manpage.

Basically you want this in the exports line: all_squash anonuid=whatever anongid=whatever

If you're not on linux but on BSD, do what Chris S said.

    I'd like my NFS server to always use the same user ID to own the files, whatever user ID is used on the client.

    Is this possible and how?
