[SOLVED] rpc.statd (nfs-utils) doesn't run as any user [id 65534]

Code: [Select]
> ps aux|grep rpc.statd
65534     3048  0.0  0.0   4628  1872 ?        Ss   08:55   0:00 /sbin/rpc.statd --no-notify

any idea why that might be?

Maybe it would be good to look at the internet before asking a question, there is a lot of it ( and it costs less as 10 seconds)   ;)  8)

To verify that NFS is running.

Code: [Select]
rpc.statd
    A daemon that listens for reboot notifications from other hosts, and manages the list of hosts to be notified when the local system reboots

nfs-utils is in [core] [system],  so should be stay installed, but if you really never use Network File Systems, you can maybe unistall it...

maybe i need to clarify:

rpc.statd runs with a uid of 65534 which doesn't have any mapped user on my system and i don't understand why that might be. either i accidentally removed a user or maybe it's a bug.

i'm not sure why you spewing poison at me when you didn't understand my question?  if you are stressed or depressed please talk to a professional. I'm not a punching bag.

with my poison i answer you :
https://askubuntu.com/questions/329714/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-nobody-user

The user nobody is reserved for NFS only

so
Code: [Select]
grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:65534:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin

Maybe I'm poisoned from lazy people  8)  8)  8)  because i am not stressed nor depressed 8)  8)  8)

The nobody user name with user id 65534 was created and reserved for a specific purpose and should be used only for that purpose: as a placeholder for "unmapped" users and user ids in NFS tree exports.

That is, unless user/id mapping is setup for NFS tree exports, all files in the export will appear owned by nobody. The purpose of this is to prevent all users on the importing system from accessing those files (unless they have "other" permissions), as none of them (except root) can be/become nobody

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/users_and_groups
and because nobody user shouldn't take anyone's uid, they decided to give him the highest possible number and that number is 65534.

nobody user in my /etc/passwd has a pid/gid of 99/99

but he should not... he should have 65534. maybe was some wrong set in your computer.

 it could happen that due to  wrong group ownership uid of nobody user was changed or use non-standard uid number. I recommend you uninstall nfs-utils and install it again

how is that not treating me like a complete moron that doesn't know how to use a keyboard? telling me to google it. why would any total moron even consider artix as his choice of distro? how would you react if someone told you to google it when you were just stumped and didn't know how to proceed? do you think logging on a forum and asking a question is less work than just searching for an obvious answer on the internet?

if you have a fiance try stating the obvious to him/her ironically all the time. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

yes I AM stressed and maybe depressed. this lockdown stuff is getting to me and you are not helping one bit.

well... actually did help and I'm greatful for that part at least.

99 was apparently historically nobody until (most) distros change it to 65534? I didn't get the memo.

We had slight changes in filesystem and (e)sysusers package many moons ago.
I think you have been with artix since almost the start, stands to reason you caught this inconvenience.

All should work if you assign nobody user/group the suggested 65534 id.

yeah, it''s bad time... but  I never thought of it as an insult with that internet search, buddy  ;)

I don't think you're a moron. A lot of people come here are complete beginners, some are not, but I don't have a chance to know from a short note. So I'll rather add a note about searching the internet or about wiki.archlinux.org to help they find some answers and learn some.
