Anybody know what the e_maptype export field is for? It seems to be
unused.

Some things are just timeless.
So does that someone somewhere could theoretically be using this code
right now? On a quick glance I'd convinced myself it was totally dead,
but I wasn't thinking about unfsd. I have no clue how it interacts with
anything else in nfs-utils.

I think it's safe to ignore unfsd.

I agree, but I've been surprised to see some of the embedded (ARM) ports
using it, they have .deb-style package installs and everything. Many of the
users of these packages don't have a lot of NFS depth. The tiny NAS boxes
in general don't even enable NFS by default, the users are on their own and
unfsd means they don't have to muck with the embedded kernel.
That said, I don't think these users even know about userid mapping types.
Also most of the boxes are now doing what they call knfsd. Just a data point
that unfsd isn't totally dead.
Tom.

Good point - and unfs3 is there in the main ones already.
Okay, I agree let's ignore unfsd altogether.
Tom.

IINM it goes back to the unfsd days. You could do different types of uid
mapping there - 1:1 mapping, using NIS, or using some funky contraption called
rpc.ugidd. Yes, we had uid mapping before NFSv4, and no, it wasnt pretty :-)
