No it's not. Not yet, anyway. A/UX won't run system 7 until 1992.

On the other hand you can accomplish what you want _right now_ with A/UX.
Just get a $200 copy of allShare. It's a really nifty non-dedicated Ashare
clone which can run uncer A/UX. It does _NOT_ implement the Ashare privs
though.

Alternatively you can install CAP, which is free. But others can tell you
more about that than I.
