- Actually it _might_ be a bug. I've run into the same problem since I updated
- a Sparc2 to Solaris 2.1. Even after cutting to 7 the number of groups to
- which root on the Sparc belongs, attempts to mount directories from any hp
- running 8.0-8.07 _still_ fail with this same rpc error. Any other ideas?
- This is basically gross behavior.
-
- The _only_ good news is that the Sparc has no trouble mounting directories
- from a 720 running 9.0 regardless of root's group status.
