Configuring User Name Mapping

I have a simple question. As we know , the NFS server will map the Unix user to Window user. So we must copy the file password (/etc/passwd) and group (/etc/group). I wonder one thing .Is the password field in the file password important? or we just need the user name field ? .

Thanks for your reply

User Name Mapping doesn't care about the password in the passwd file.

That's because it cannot authenticate the users based on those passwords - it uses Kerberos extension called S4U to authenticate the Windows/AD users.

Apart from user names, it also uses UID and GID fields in the passwd file.
