I wanted to try NFS on my Mac LC II so I installed a NFS client:

it seems to work, at least it was able to detect my NFS-servers:

The problem is what I simply don't get how do I access my NFS shares. If I double-click on any of these shares, another windows appears asking for username and password:

As far as I know, NFS servers do not provide any user-login services so giving it any usernames/passwords(no matter existing or not, local or remote) doesn't work. On any Unix-system all I have to do is to specify NFS-server's IP-address and a local mounting point, no usernames, passwords or something - pretty simple. Is anyone aware how do I make it on a Macintosh?

thanks!
