Hi,
 
 Is there any way to prevent PC-NFS users from logging in as 'nobody'?
 When PC-NFS returns its 'Authentication failure - Abort, Retry, or Ignore'
 there doesn't seem to be any way to trap the 'Ignore' response.  (Error-
 level is not set.)  PC-NFS then defaults back to the previous user and
 group.
 
 This makes network admin. very difficult .... Thanks for any help.
