folks,

  i'd like to summarize the answer to the nfs mounts that fail with
  an "Authorization error" since i've gotten so many requests for it.

  courtesy of Wendy Ross <wross@caen.engin.umich.edu>, root can be in
  only eight groups when mounting from a system with older NFS (see
  info: Identifying the cause of slow access times for NFS).  simply
  edit /etc/groups, or use "smit user" to update the group list for
  root.

  enjoy!
