Subject:   Problems using 4.6-PR as an NFS server
Message-ID:  <20020515122905.J18023@gsmx07.alcatel.com.au>

I have a machine running 4.6-PRERELEASE #0: Wed May  8 03:17:26 EST 2002
that is acting as an NFS server to a DEC/Compaq/HP Tru64 box.  My problem
is that when the client user has is a member of too many groups, any NFS
requests are ignored by the server.

As an example, I belong to 26 groups on the client and if I attempt to
do a "df", the following packet is just repeated forever with no
response from the server:

I thought that NFS behaviour in this case was to just take the first
16 groups and ignore the remaining ones.  I'm not enough of an NFS
expert to know if this is a problem on the client or server (and I
can't read RPC packets by hand).

This is an NFSv3/UDP mount with an exports line of
/mnt    -alldirs  -maproot=root aald02 aald03

Any suggestions on where to look for a solution?
