Description of problem: rpc.idmapd fails as group nobody does not exist in Mageia 9. Fixed by either creating the nobody group or adding the line: Nobody-Group = nogroup to /etc/idmapd.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Thank you for this report. Can you say how you installed your Mageia 9? Upgrade from 8, or from an installation ISO? My own M9 system does have group 'nobody', but it started life as an upgrade from M8; I do not know where that group came from. I can look at an M8 installation, but the group is probably present with the same unknown. /etc/idmapd.conf is in pkg lib64nfsidmap0, SRPM as noted nfs-utils-2.6.3-1.mga9.src.rpm Assigning to Guillaume for nfs-utils, but the problem may lie elsewhere: should any Mageia installation have group 'nobody'? If so, please change Component to Installer, and re-assign this to mageiatools CC isobuild.

The issue cropped up on 2 systems, one that was a recent install fron the Mageia 9 release ISO and one that had been updated from the beta release. I have checked a VBOX image that was upgraded from Nageia 8 and it still has the nobody group.
