Access control? What access control? :-)

Our use case has only one effective "user" on the NFS side (an automatic 
nightly build process), so there isn't a need to restrict certain areas of the 
file space. If there were, however, I don't see why you couldn't use uid/gid 
bits in the normal manner.

(On the AFS side, the server runs under a dedicated principal that restricts 
its access to only the areas it needs, so at least it cannot be used to break 
into restricted areas of AFS.)
