non -root chowns ?

Hello managers !

We try to allow non-root chowns on exported filesystems
on Tru64 5.1a, NFS V3. On Solaris, this is forbidden by
default (Posix compatibility), but can be allowed by
setting the parameter rstchown to 0 in /etc/system. I
cannot find any analogous parameter in sysconfigtab for
Tru64.

We know that this may open security holes, but we think
we are in a secure enough environment, and we need this
for specific tasks.

Thanks for any hints !
