proxy database like OpenVMS's.

Hello Tru64 managers -

I hope this is an easy one, but I'm not seeing it in the unix
documentation.

We have several multi user machines in our network. Because of several
off the shelf applications the user / group id's don't match up.

If a unix user needs to nfs mount onto our OpenVMS box I can map the
unix user's id to a OpenVMS user id. For example on system unix_box I
have user howard with uid of 300 group id of 300. On system VMS_box
that user is howe with uid of 53 and group id of 475.

In OpenVMS I would do something like ...

$ ucx add proxy howe /gid=300 /uid=300 /host=unix_box
/remote_user=howard /nfs=incoming

this would allow the user with a group id of 300 and user id of 300 on
unix_box to have access to everything that user howe has on VMS_box.
This syntax might be wrong but you get the ideal.

How do I do this going from a unix node to another unix node?

Thank you for your time.
