Linux home directories ownership problem

homes located on EMS storage and we use NIS.
user sees all his files under home directory owned by nobody:nobody

here is a solution:

modify /etc/idmapd.conf and add domain to :
Domain = a.b.c.com

restart daemon:
service rpcidmapd restart

if still problems ,
clear cache :
nfsidmap -c

Hopefully , it will help you

Ok. I had a same problem with another RedHat Linux – this time with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago)

trick was editing /etc/nfsmount.conf and adding

Defaultvers=3 under [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] session

so , it will like :
[ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
Defaultvers=3
