Hi, While doing some FSAL testing, I noticed that I couldn't get Ganesha to consistently/exclusively return numeric uid/gid values--I could get them if (idmap and/or getpwnam) failed, and if Allow_Numeric_Owners was set (the default).
So after a chat w/Frank, I had a plan to make the idmap style explicit. What Frank and I discussed has a config parameter that can be "idmapd" or "getpwnam" or "numeric," with "idmapd" the default, and Allow_Numeric_Owners behaving as before. What I skipped past when Frank and I discussed this, was that the current behavior is actually idmapd falling back to getpwnam, falling back to numeric. It doesn't seem like you would always want the fallback from idmapd to getpwnam either. I'm looking for feedback as to: 1. is there agreement that either idmapd or getpwnam but not fallback between them is useful? 2. is there actual desire for the fallback behavior (which I guess would be the default if so, since it's the current behavior)?
