Functionally what's the difference between allowing root nfs access with 
root=*, and allowing it with anon=0?

I have a JumpStart filesystem that was shared through /etc/dfs/dfstab 
with '-o sec=sys,ro,anon=0'. On this file system there are files that 
are owned by root and mode 600. During jumpstart these files can be 
copied fine.

WHen I was converting to use sharemgr, at first I missed the fact that 
it has an 'anon=0' option, and decided to used 'root=*' instead. For 
some reason this broke things, those same files couldn't be copied.

Switching back to 'anon=0' fixed things again.

Why?

The onnly difference I can see is that root= allows a list of hosts, but 
when used with an * it should work the same as anon=0 right?

What am I missing?
