Could you please send me information on the following:
============================================================================
MIT's Project Athena has implemented a user ID mapping scheme for NFS that
maps a pair {client IP address, uid} onto a uid on the server. The
mappings are established at mount time and are authenticated using
Athena's Kerberos authentication system. With such a server, an Amiga (or
any other NFS machine) can't access private files simply by changing the
uid in the request.
============================================================================
Thanks for the trouble,
Mac Townsend
