[OpenIndiana-discuss] NFS4 users

[Ignacio Marambio Catán]

yes, no_root_squash is a linux setting, it is what you achieve with
root= in solaris.
As far as i know id mapping (uid to uid) was not really necessary in
nfs4 because nfs4 uses usernames instead of uids so it's just a matter
of having the same users created everywhere no matter the uid.
