I recently posted a request for help in getting our NFS connection working
between an Intel SysV/386 machine and our Apollos.  The problem had appeared
to be one of user authentication.

It appears that the problem has been solved, so here is the fix:

The Apollo implementation always requires that the Unix userid and user
number be identical on both systems.  There appears to be no way around this.
Apollo suggests that we use the Apollo command ``import_passwd'' to get the
user numbers the same, and then use ``syncids'' to fix up the file
system afterwards.
