- In an effort not do do "the Emperor's New Clothes" with "NFS Security",
- the IDMNT.EXE we distribute insists on authentication via a PCNFSD server,
- and doesn't allow the user to specify the UID/GID as integers. Thus, it
- can't talk to SOSS. However, you can get from our Tech Support people
- a MNT.EXE which lets you specify UID/GID and mount SOSS (and other things
- that don't have PCNFSDs available).
