1) Confirmed: Ubuntu 11.04 has the problem, 10.04 does not.
2) I'm running the involved clients "diskless", and apparently I forgot to upgrade the tftpboot kernel for the 11.04, so the clients are now both running the same kernel: 2.6.38-8-generic-pae. The problem does not depend on the kernel.
3) I /HAVE/ matching uids on the server and client.
The server was upgraded to 14.04 and since then the 11.04 client maps all normal-uid-owned-files on the NFS mount to "nobody". This results in sshd not allowing the authorized keys file, and not being able to use your own files.

Now, "it sounds like this may have been fixed upstream" is encouraging. But what do I need to upgrade to get the fix?

What do you guys do to get idmapd to log the translations it is doing? -v option? Is there a neat way to enable it?

I've stopped the idmapd on the client. Same problem.
I've straced the idmapd on the server, and it was not doing anything when the login on the server failed again. Are the idmapd requests cached? How do I flush them?
