This is a continuation of my previous posting, which reported that you
must have a real account on SR10 before you can access an SR10 apollo
disk via nfs from a remote (non-apollo) host.

As a consequence, every remote program that does a stat() of statfs()
for an apollo nfs disk, will fail with authorization errors.

Needless to say this is terribly annoying is you realize that often
used utilities on normal bsd4.3 machines like '/bin/df' also deal with
nfs mounted filesystems. Every time one of my innocent remote users
does a 'df', an authorization error is reported on the remote machine,
and many, many lines are added to the SR10 /usr/adm/nfs_error_log file.

nfsd: _svcauth_aegis(): FYI unable to convert uid N, gid M, to a SID
_svc_auth_aegis(): unable to cache new user uid N, gid M
