I setup the nfs server with yast. I setup the nfs clients with Yast. Yast 
tells me nothing about id. It doen't say, 'are you sure you want to continue 
becaus this is s big security risk'.

I come back to my original worry: I'm the only one with root access on any box 
on my network. Yast set it up for me. What are my problems? I'm sorry to have 
to ask for confirmation.
