I don't think that's the default, or at least it didn't used to be.  I
remember having explicitly set in the /etc/exports file on the NFS
server that nobody=X, because by default nobody used to map to 0,
which you might think isn't wise for very blatantly obvious reasons :)

Of course, that might just have been on Ultrix... I don't remember the
details.
