I just noticed that when accessing an NFS mount, the group is ignored.

For example, on the server that shares the files via NFS that lists from the 
NFS client as:

$ ls -l/nfs/web
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root   web_prog   491 Oct 16  2012 parse.php

$ mount
web:/ on /lvh1/web type nfs4 
(rw,noatime,vers=4.0,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,soft,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.6.12,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.6.232)


A user on the client machine that is a member of group web_prog cannot write 
the file (parse.php).  If the user is changed from root to the client user's 
UID via chown on the server, the user on the client machine can then write the 
file.

The server is on CentOS 7 and the client is on Fedora 21.  If I do the same 
test from a CentOS 7 or CentOS 6 machine client, it works as expected.  That 
is, the group permissions are honoured by the NFS client on those non-Fedora 
machines.

So, I figure there is something wrong with my Fedora NFS configuration.  
Nothing shows up that is related to this issue when searching the Internet.

What I have tried:

Insure that Domain in /etc/idmapd.conf  is the same on  both client and server. 
 Though the fact that the user ID is honoured would indicate that is correct.

Insured that the numerical user ID and group ID match on both client and 
server, even though until now I always assumed that idmapd did not require the 
numerical IDs to match with NFS4

Any help would be appreciated.
