  Yes, that's the correct thing to do if a user "nobody" exists.

Is it?  RFC3530 says "nobody" (on the wire) is the anonymous user.  If the
server has a real user whose local name is "nobody," should the nfs
anonymous user be mapped to the real local user named "nobody", or should it
be mapped to uid -2?

I'm inclined to say that if you have a real user named "nobody" on linux
then you get what you deserve.
