Why? The minute the server rejects it, the option is turned off. The
main reasons I can see for wanting to turn it off at mount time is
1) The server already has a different uid/gid mapping set up
2) The server lies in a different NFS domain.
In either one of those two cases, why would you want to use AUTH_SYS in
the first place? It will be broken.
