Re: NFS security

NFS always uses UID or GID (I think) - no matter the platform it's 
running on.

What we'd like to do is on the main system,  export directory called /foo, then mount /foo on the client system.   We would like to be able to secure directories under /foo  such as /foo/abc  to only users authorized to /foo/abc   and others   /foo/xyz  only users authorized to /foo/xyz.    In reading about nfs mounts,  it says that UID is used,  but is that only when the host is a *NIX system?   Can I match userid on system A  with a userid on system B  if they have the same UID?
