FYI, I have encountered no problems with pre-asun2.1.4-39_test on Solaris
7 and grabbing shares that are NFSed from another Solaris box. Of course
this is all NFSv3 which you probably aren't using on your Linux boxes.

As for the time syncing I would agree that it is important to keep time
current among machines that are NFSing things around. Recent
versions of GNU "make" really complain if the time is different. If you
aren't using ntp or some such utility, you should be :)
