Re: NFS question

I'm pretty sure that NFS doesn't work that way.  Authorization and
authentication is done via file permission settings and the /etc/exports
file.   I.e. you can set it up so that only user xyz or group xyz can
access a particular NFS mount or that a mount is read/write or read/only,
but NFS isn't an end user application, it's an application layer network
protocol.
