RHBA-2014:1451 - nfs-utils-lib bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

nfs-utils-lib bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated nfs-utils-lib packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The nfs-utils-lib packages contain support libraries required by the programs in the nfs-utils packages.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, when the chown utility was used on an NFSv4 mount, chown did not adhere to the no_root_squash option, and thus was not able to change the user and group ownership of each given file. With this update, libnfsidmap, a library to help mapping IDs mainly for NFSv4, has been patched, and chown now handles the user and group ownership as expected.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

  • The rpc.idmapd daemon has been enhanced to be able to parse fully-qualified user names, such as "user@subdomain". Without this enhancement, the UID or GID mappings were failing and clients were incorrectly listed as owned by "nobody". (BZ#1066153)

Users of nfs-utils-lib are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
