Hi:

I have a NFS problem on our 10.2 node that maybe someone 
can help me with.
                    
We have a mixture of 9.7 and 10.2 nodes on our network.
I recently upgraded our Sun's mount point Apollo to SR10.2
and started experiencing problems with the Apollo
mounts on our Suns. 

I'm getting these errors messages on our Suns:
From a 'df' command, I get:
          
     1.30 ~=>df /apollo
     NFS getattr failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error
     df: /apollo: I/O error
     Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on

From a 'cd' and 'ls' command, I get:

     1.31 ~ =>cd /apollo
     1.32 /apollo =>ls
     NFS lookup failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error
     NFS lookup failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error
     ls: .: I/O error
But then after a while, I can't even 'cd' to the directory.
        
     1.38 ~=>cd /apollo
     NFS getattr failed for server tule: RPC: Authentication error
     /apollo: I/O error
 
where 'tule' is the name of our node and '/apollo' is the mount 
point.

When this happens, users cannot access the '/apollo' directory from 
the Sun.

What's strange is IF I SU AS ROOT on the Sun, I'm able to access the
apollo file system WITHOUT THESE PROBLEMS. It seems to be only when 
I'm log in as a regular user, do I get the above error messages.

This happens only on our sr10.2 nodes. If I mount a 9.7 node,
this problem this not occur. We been using NFS on our 9.7 nodes
for several years now without much problem. The UIDs and GIDs are
synced between the Suns and Apollos. Our writable registry is on
the 9.7. We running NFS on all our Apollos.
     
As anyone else experience this problem and found a cure
for it?

I've called Sun and they said that it is probably not their
problem but an Apollo problem. 

                              


Thanks in advance
