It seems to me to be very unwise indeed to use NFS, where the
server relies on the client to do user authentication, with
Macintoshes (or indeed MSDOS machines) which have no concept of
"user" at all.

I don't know what the GatorBox does about this, but I don't
believe that there is any way currently to secure a Mac even to
the extent that you can secure a Sun :-)
