authentication question

When I connect a client to lib/srv, the connection is authenticated but
I get a message: "Authentication secceeded but remote id is 'shankar'
instead of the normal service id. This may be unsafe." 

Both client and server are on a Solaris 2.5 machine where I "su" from 
"shankar" to "root" and then su again to "inferno".

How can I avoid this message? I run a script as "inferno" which changes
all relevant environment variables (such as USER, LOGNAME, GROUP) to 
"inferno" and the UID is the inferno UID.

Thanks!
Shankar
