First, are you defined to the apollo system as a valid user. Second, is the
uid for your account on the sun the same as on the apollo.  If both of the
above are the case, put a rgyd on the apollo gateway node with the mount.
We have cleared up many Authentication errors by doing this.

Appearently when the network (DDS token ring) starts getting busy and the
nfsd has to go across it for packet validation, Authertication errors start
appearing.  Apollo nfs requires that every packet be autherized before it
is written or read from the apollo environment.
