I am talking about NFS, as in EXPORTFS and MOUNT. I am not talking about
QNTC, NetServer and that stuff.

When I EXPORTFS a directory and some other lpar (could also be Windows or
Linux) does a MOUNT on this, the user associated with the access is
QNFSANON. Well, I have a problem with having to run
CHGAUT OBJ('/Banking') USER(QNFSANON) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)
SUBTREE(*ALL)
to allow access to the '/Banking' directory to every Tom, Dick and Harry
to allow NFS access between lpars.
Is there some option on EXPORTFS to say use the credentials of the remote
user?
