On the? client side, nfs4 mount,? i am able to
create files and folders
using nautilus which get reflected on the server.
But when I check the user permissions of the file/folder
created on the nfs4
shared partition on the server, I see that it is created
with someother user
on the server.
how do i map usernames on client to server correctly ?
please let me know.
Thanks!

use NIS.
These mappings are possible with user local uid/gid settings but it
can be an administrative nightmare.
You need some kind of a "directory service" that provides global
uid/gid mappings across all machines.
LDAP is an alternate solution. openLDAP support CIFS (aka samba)
integration.
(LDAP has been discussed in this list a few times; check the list archives)
