Changing uid using usermod in rc.local causing probs

User Support General

Hi!
To facilitate nfs mounting I have the following in an AppVM’s rc.local file:
usermod -u 1026 user

I have noticed this line causes the AppVM to hang when invoked about 50% of the time: Sometimes the AppVM will load whichever program I choose, sometimes it won’t load anything and I have to shut it down using the Qube manager.

When I comment out the command, the AppVM works no problem.

Anyone know what might be going on? I’m wondering if there is some AppVM boot/load process that is hanging due to the user having a nonstandard uid?

Hi,

If you use nfsv4, I’d recommend to remap the user on the NFS server instead of this (it is possible to have a local:remote uid mapping per host)
