Hi Managers,
>
Problem : security loop holes on exporting unix filesystem and
              accessing from a VMS client

1. Unix system does not allow mount from Open VMS Client if /SUPERUSER
   option is not given at UCX command

2. if file system is mounted with /SUPERUSER option on Open VMS
   client and
   if -root=0 option is set in NFS Server exports file, any user on
   VMS Client (whose proxy is set with NFS outgoing option)has all
   the permissions to access any of the files in the mounted area

looking forward for a solution
