SunOs 4.0 addresses this issue a bit. It has security features that don't
allow root to su to a user and be interpreted as that user on an NFS
mount.
MIT's Project Athena has an authentication service called Kerberous (sp?)
that does a more complete job. I'm not sure whether this system is
available yet for the Sun.
Both systems insure that the user must type his own password at least once
before assuming his identity on the network.
