Linux OS Service ‘rpcidmapd’

by admin

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.
