Our CS dept has a number of freebsd machines which are
NFS servers for some sparc, irix, and freebsd boxes.  I
think the servers are all freebsd 2.2.6 or later (but
not 3.<anything>).  If they're doing version 2 NFS,
then everything is quite fine.  If they're setup to
do version 3 NFS, then access from the sparcs (or irix,
I forget) would regularly cause the freebsd servers to
crash.

I don't know if the version 3 NFS problems have been
addressed in 3.0-current.  Seems to me that someone
(Terry Lambert?) had some patches which were an initial
stab of fixing these problems, but I might be getting
mixed up on that.
