to clarify,
yes.. my box IS named sabre, which is the first listing in the showmount -e
command

he said he hasn't restarted mountd or nfsd, but said that "if anything needs
restarted.. its MY machine (sabre)"

he won't take my word for it.. or even try ): so i'm tryin to gather "proof"
to make my case
and he has a policy that he won't support anything non-solaris, not that i
need support, but he's lumped this situation into "its your problem,
YOU figure it out"

as far as jealousy.. i won't attempt to de-mystify his psyche, interesting
note tho, during the nfs move and other upgrades, they've prolly rebooted
each of the clients 3-6 times.  funny, when you consider how much bashing
these sun guys do of M$ for having to reboot all the time.

anyway...

many thanks!
nathan
