Well, if we're going to modify NFS, someone's going to have to get the
source licenses to all the NFS implementations we have on campus and do
the mods.  This will never happen.  We have Ultrix 2.0-1, Ultrix 3.0,
4.3bsd, SGI, and the GatorBox that support NFS connections in CGL.  Or,
are you suggesting that machines for which we don't have source must have
identical passwd and group files?  I can't see how we can avoid dividing
up the uid space.  Is SUN working on this problem?
