We are using user vmail via NFSv4. Which NFS version are you migrating to?

The userid vmail needs to exist on both systems (NFSv4 and mail server)
and rpc.identd needs to be running on both sides with the same domain.
Then the user should not be displayed as nobody, if the files are owned
by vmail:vmail on the NFSv4 server.
