	This user seems to be having trouble with kerberos and nfs
(username pingiuna).  Sometimes when the server amchine is really
loaded, theses sorts of errors come about, including the authorization
error messages while still mounting the file sustem.  Can you figure
out what is going on?

P.S. Please cc any replies to the user to me so I can know what is
going on as well in case other people report this problem.

Sure, this is what happens when I attach sipb, for example...

w20-575-62% attach sipb
nfsid: uidmap server not responding; No UID maps installed:
RPC_AUTH_ERROR; why = AUTH_TOO_WEAK (remote error)
NFS Kerberos authentication failed
nfsid: uidmap server not responding; No UID maps installed:
RPC_AUTH_ERROR; why = AUTH_TOO_WEAK (remote error)
sipb: NFS mounted m4-035-w.MIT.EDU:/sipb on /mit/sipb (read-only)

As you can see, sipb gets attached (and I CAN use it), albeit after the
complaints.

However, there are some lockers that I can't use AT ALL!!!  For example,
the consultants recommend attaching the 'consult' locker and then
running their olc_answers program when I want to read answers from their
stock.  Yet I can't 'attach consult'!!

w20-575-62% attach consult
nfsid: uidmap server not responding; No UID maps installed:
RPC_AUTH_ERROR; why = AUTH_TOO_WEAK (remote error)
NFS Kerberos authentication failed

Thanks for trying to help out, I really hope you can fix this...
