I know that this has been asked and concluded long ago but I forgot the
answer and where to look for it.

By default, NFS maps root uid (0) to nobody (-2).  This is inconvienent
for our site.

My question is:  how do I change this mapping?  I couldn't find the kernal
include file to change because I don't know what the parameter is called.

Thanks in advance,
//Howard
