+NFS servers often refresh their users' group membership at their
+own cadence, which means the NFS client's file access cache can
+become stale if the user's group membership changes on the server
+after they've logged in on the client. To align with the principles
+of the POSIX design, which only refreshes the user's supplementary
+group information upon login, the mechanism uses the user's login
+time to determine whether the file access cache needs to be refreshed.
