Since I mounted a remote VAX/VMS file system (Multinet NFS) on
my Apollo 400 S, SR10.3, NFS 2.2, all hell has broke loose on my system.
I can't go into all the crap but would appreciate insight into one
of the phenomena I've observed.  I login as root and start-up
X windows.  In an mterm window, I issue the login command and login
as mse.  As mse, I try to access files on the Vax.  I expect
Multinet NFS to grant certain privileges on requests from mse
but it doesn't see me as mse--it sees me as root (which I determine
by creating a file and 'ls -l file').

If my initial login id is mse, everything works as expected.  Well
not everything but at least security.  What gives?

Many thanks
