To be honest, that sounds exactly like LM98 to me. Nothing in normal
Sunfish use appears to be a drag-able file to me. However, I have
found a file that describes my NAS connection at:

SDFS::Minim.$.!Boot.Choices.Sunfish.mountsave.red/volume1/music

It contains this...

Protocol: NFS3
Server: RED
Export: /volume1/music
uid: 0
gid: 0
gids:
umask: 022
Transport: TCP
ShowHidden: 1
FollowSymlinks: 5
CaseSensitive: 1
UnixEx: 0
TranslateWin: 1
DefaultFiletype: FFF
AddExt: 1
unumask: 600
MaxDataBuffer: 0
Pipelining: 0
Timeout: 20
Logging: 0

It may use other wording but nothing about "no conversion".

I wish I understood uid, gid and gids but I don't, the more I read
about them the more confused I become. I realise I'm probably wrong
but this security system seems to be a confused, complex, dog's
breakfast to me compared to a username and password expected
everywhere else.

Ah-men to that.
