UID of the active user currently accessing an nfsd thread is no longer visible with commands like 'ps -o fuser" in RHEL 6
Issue
In RHEL5 and earlier releases, you could utilize the fuser parameter in ps to acquire the UID of the user who was currently using the thread of a process. For example:
ps ax -o state,fuser,command|grep [n]fsd]
This would normally return the uid of the user using the NFS daemon(s) at that time. This ps sequence could be helpful in tracking down the users actively accessing the thread(s).
