If an SR10 apollo filesystem has been mounted via nfs by a remote
(non-apollo) host, arbitrary remote users on that remote host cannot
access any file on the apollo disk via nfs.
Only remote users that have an identical account on the SR10 system
are allowed access. This means that if a remote user UUU belonging to
remote group GGG wants to use nfs with the apollo disks, there must
be not only an SR10 person UUU and an SR10 group GGG with identical
numeric unix uid and gid, but there MUST also be an SR10 account
UUU.GGG.org for nfs to work.

This is absolutely unacceptable.
