Note that this is due to the fact that NFS mounts are done before ypbind is
started.  And, rpcidmapd now caches its results, so the translation to
'nobody' remains even after ypbind is started.  I consider this a bug that
will have to be addressed (maybe by starting ypbind before NFS mounts?)
so that NFSv4 mounts can truly function in an NIS environment.
