-
- >NFS security is like UNIX security, you have the owner, group, world,

- >ie. testfile.txt 2000 3000 rwx-rw-r--
- >which means for
- > file testfile.txt
- > owner user ID 2000 (ie `rruther`)
- > owner access r/w/execute
- > group group ID is 3000 (ie. developer)
- > group access is r/w
- > world access read only
