File Formats                                               nfs(4)



NAME
     nfs - file containing parameter values for NFS-related  dae-
     mons

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/default/nfs

DESCRIPTION
     The nfs file resides in directory /etc/default and  provides
     startup parameters for the nfsd(1M) and lockd(1M) daemons.

     The nfs file format is ASCII; comment lines begin  with  the
     crosshatch  (#)  character.  Parameters consist of a keyword
     followed by an equals (=) sign  followed  by  the  parameter
     value, of the form:

     keyword=value

     The following parameters are currently supported in the  nfs
     file:

     NFS_CLIENT_VERSMIN=num
     NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=num

         The NFS client only  uses  NFS  versions  in  the  range
         specified  by  these variables. Valid values or versions
         are: 2,  3,  and  4.  By  default  these  variables  are
         unspecified  (commented  out)  and  the client's default
         minimum is Version 2. The default maximum is Version  4.
         You  can  override  this  range  on a per-mount basis by
         using the -o vers= option to mount_nfs(1M).




     NFS_SERVER_VERSMIN=num
     NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX=num

         The NFS server only  uses  NFS  versions  in  the  range
         specified  by  these variables. Valid values or versions
         are: 2, 3, and 4. As with the client, the default is  to
         leave  these  variables  commented  out  and the default
         minimum version is 2, while the default maximum  version
         is 4.




     NFS_SERVER_DELEGATION=on | off

         By default, this variable is commented out and  the  NFS
         server  provides  delegations  to  clients. The user can

File Formats                                               nfs(4)



         turn off delegations for  all  exported  filesystems  by
         setting  this  variable  to  off (case-sensitive).  This
         variable only applies to NFS Version 4.



     NFSMAPID_DOMAIN=domain-string

         By default, the nfsmapid uses the DNS domain of the sys-
         tem.  This setting overrides the default. This domain is
         used for identifying user and group attribute strings in
         the  NFS  Version  4  protocol. Clients and servers must
         match with this domain for  operation  to  proceed  nor-
         mally.  This variable only applies to NFS Version 4. See
         "Setting NFSMAPID_DOMAIN," below for further details.



     NFSD_MAX_CONNECTIONS=num

         Sets  the  maximum  number  of  concurrent,  connection-
         oriented  connections.  The  default is unlimited and is
         obtained  by  not  setting  (that  is,  commenting  out)
         NFSD_MAX_CONNECTIONS.   Equivalent  to  the -c option in
         nfsd.



     NFSD_LISTEN_BACKLOG=num

         Set  connection  queue  length  for  the  NFS   over   a
         connection-oriented  transport. The default value is 32,
         meaning 32 entries in the queue. Equivalent  to  the  -l
         option in nfsd.



     NFSD_PROTOCOL=ALL

         Start nfsd over the specified protocol only.  Equivalent
         to the -p option in nfsd. ALL is equivalent to -a on the
         nfsd command line. Mutually exlusive of NFSD_DEVICE. One
         or  the  other  of NFSD_DEVICE and NFSD_PROTOCOL must be
         commented out. For the UDP protocol, only version 2  and
         version  3  service is established. NFS Version 4 is not
         supported for the UDP protocol.



     NFSD_DEVICE=devname

         Start NFS daemon for  the  transport  specified  by  the

         given  device only. Equivalent to the -t option in nfsd.
         Mutually exclusive of NFSD_PROTOCOL.  One or  the  other
         of NFSD_DEVICE and NFSD_PROTOCOL must be commented out.



     NFSD_SERVERS=num

         Maximum number of concurrent NFS requests. Equivalent to
         last  numeric  argument  on  the  nfsd command line. The
         default is 16.



     LOCKD_LISTEN_BACKLOG=num

         Set  connection  queue   length   for   lockd   over   a
         connection-oriented  transport.  The default and minimum
         value is 32.



     LOCKD_SERVERS=num

         Maximum number of concurrent lockd requests. The default
         is 20.



     LOCKD_RETRANSMIT_TIMEOUT=num

         Retransmit timeout, in seconds,  before  lockd  retries.
         The default is 5.



     GRACE_PERIOD=num

         Grace period, in seconds, that all clients (both NLM and
         NFSv4) have to reclaim locks after a server reboot. This
         parameter also controls the  NFSv4  lease  interval  and
         overrides the deprecated setting LOCKD_GRACE_PERIOD. The
         default is 90.



     LOCKD_GRACE_PERIOD=num

         Deprecated. Same as GRACE_PERIOD=num above. The  default
         is 90.

  Setting NFSMAPID_DOMAIN
     As described above, the setting  for  NFSMAPID_DOMAIN  over-
     rides  the domain used by nfsmapid(1M) for building and com-
     paring outbound and inbound attribute strings, respectively.
     This  setting  overrides any other mechanism for setting the
     NFSv4 domain. In the absence of a  NFSMAPID_DOMAIN  setting,
     the  nfsmapid(1M) daemon determines the NFSv4 domain as fol-
     lows:

       o  If  a   properly   configured   /etc/resolv.conf   (see
          resolv.conf(4))   exists,  nfsmapid  queries  specified
          nameserver(s) for the domain.

       o  If  a   properly   configured   /etc/resolv.conf   (see
          resolv.conf(4)) exists, but the queried nameserver does
          not have a proper record of the domain  name,  nfsmapid
          attempts  to  obtain  the  domain name through the BIND
          interface (see resolver(3RESOLV)).

       o  If no /etc/resolv.conf exists, nfsmapid falls  back  on
          using  the configured domain name (see domainname(1M)),
          which  is  returned  with  the  leading  domain  suffix
          removed.   For   example,  for  widgets.sales.acme.com,
          sales.acme.com is returned.

       o  If /etc/resolv.conf does not exist, no domain name  has
          been  configured  (or  no  /etc/defaultdomain  exists),
          nfsmapid falls back on obtaining the domain  name  from
          the host name, if the host name contains a fully quali-
          fied domain name (FQDN).


     If a domainname is still not obtained following all  of  the
     preceding  steps,  nfsmapid  will have no domain configured.
     This results in the following behavior:

       o  Outbound "owner" and  "owner_group"  attribute  strings
          are encoded as literal id's. For example, the UID 12345
          is encoded as 12345.

       o  nfsmapid ignores the "domain" portion  of  the  inbound
          attribute string and performs name service lookups only
          for the user or group. If the user/group exists in  the
          local  system  name  service databases, then the proper
          uid/gid will be mapped even when  no  domain  has  been
          configured.

          This behavior  implies  that  the  same  administrative
          user/group  domain  exists  between  NFSv4  client  and
          server (that is, the same uid/gid's for users/groups on
          both  client and server). In the case of overlapping id
          spaces, the inbound attribute string could  potentially

          be  mapped  to the wrong id. However, this is not func-
          tionally different from mapping the inbound  string  to
          nobody, yet provides greater flexibility.
