CentOS 6 + LDAP + NFS. File ownership is stuck on “nobody”

An note to add to this for google searchers – we had the same issue where no matter what we did, the nfs mount would not map the user ids correctly.

The issue was idmapd had cached the incorrect ids from the faulty configuration, and no fixing of the configuration would sort it.

The command on centos to fix this was nfsidmap -c (clear cache).

Hopefully this helps some desparate searcher..
