Authentication of a

PC in an NFS

environment

PC workstations on a UNIX network can also be authenticated.
This requires an authentication server specified by the
parameter

PCNFSDAuthentServer

to be set (see appendix B).

The

DefaultUid

and

PCNFSDAuthentServer

parameters can be

combined in 4 different ways, to obtain the following behavior:

NFSUser = 100

NFSUser = 101

NFSGroup = 4

NFSIPAddress = 192.124.138.60

NFSIPAddress = 192.124.138.65

Default
Uid

PCNFSD
AuthentServer

Result for PCNFSD clients

-2

0.0.0.0

Clients with user id and group id = -2 can
be authenticated, but there is no
authentication server.

-2

192.124.138.99
(example only)

If clients are authenticated by the server,
they get their real user id and group id. If
not, they default to DefaultUid.

0

192.124.138.99
(example only)

If clients are authenticated by the server,
they get their real user id and group id. If
not, they fail.

0

0.0.0.0

All clients will fail.
