[SLE] NFS from 9.1 to 9.0 revisited: user mapping possible?

    Hello,

    I am trying NFS mount - on a bunch of 9.1 workstations - a dir that is nfs
    exported from a 9.0 server.

    On the server the dir is owned but uid 500
    On the client side the user is, of course, uid 1000, and all the
    files/directories in the mounted file tree show as as owned by UID 100.
    From many ages ago I remember that it's supposed to be possible to map UIDs
    some, and I found in the NFS Administrator's Guide that the /etc/exports
    option "map_static=/path/to/map.file", but when I try this I get errors on
    the server about that not being a recognized option.

    Can anyone help with this?
    Why doesn't that option work - is it for a version of NFS newer than what
    comes with 9.1?

    Is there any other way to make the files be seen as UID 1000 on the client
    side?

    I tried putting uid= in fstab but that's not supported on type nfs.

    TIA
