What exactly are you looking for from us to move this forward? 

I would like to point out that the NFS client no longer uses the
rpc.idmapd daemon to do its id mapping. Instead the kernel now 
does an upcall to the nfsidmap(5) command and the resulting 
uid/gid is stored in the kernel key chain, if a mapping 
is done at all... 

V4 servers now have an option of returning a uid string (aka "3606")
where the NFS client just converts that into the uid.
