CAVEATS

42       In a network of multiple clients, if the user database is  not  sychro‐
43       nized  between  systems, these settings will have little meaning.  They
44       will be enforced, which can cause problems if this is not wanted.
45
46       Note that because OrangeFS is a network  file  system,  any  user  with
47       access to the network may be able to circumvent file permissions.
