I'm confused.  Kerberos is for "authentication" not "authorization".  What 
I'm asking is what is the "authorization" method used under 
NFSv4?  Normally a NFS server maps "uids" of "authenticated users" to files 
right?  Well, for multiple NFS servers using Kerberos "authentication" 
there needs to be some way of mapping "authenticated" users to "uids" on 
those systems...right?  Since all the NFS servers, even ones run by 
individuals, fall under the same Kerberos authentication namespace, then 
they all need to use the same "uid" space too...right?  Otherwise, how do 
you perform a chown?
