Hello 9fans!

I would like to permit nfs access from several unix hosts to Plan9 file server.
Our unix hosts are not administrated with unique uid/gid.
Plan9 manual nfsserver(8) shows the example file for /lib/ndb/nfs:
!9fs tcp!ivy
.+	[^.]+\.cvrd\.hall\.edu	/n/ivy/etc/passwd	/n/ivy/etc/group
It seems to me that this mapping configuration stands on the assumption
that all clients are administrated by single passwd/group file.

Assume that we have 4 unix hosts c1, c2, c3 and c4, and unix uid/gid is
different from each other.
Must we configure /lib/ndb/nfs like bellow?
!9fs tcp!c1
.+	c1	/n/c1/etc/passwd	/n/c1/etc/group
!9fs tcp!c2
.+	c2	/n/c2/etc/passwd	/n/c2/etc/group
!9fs tcp!c3
.+	c3	/n/c3/etc/passwd	/n/c3/etc/group
!9fs tcp!c4
.+	c4	/n/c4/etc/passwd	/n/c4/etc/group

Thanks,
