The installation and setup went well (I think...) and I am able to nfs mount the Apollo from both my Solaris boxes (Solaris 8 and 10) as well as with a Sparc running OpenBSD....No problems there - read/writes, and permission changes, etc all work fine... The problem lies when I try to go the other way and mount NFS shares on Solaris and OpenBSD from the Apollo. Here is the basic scenario:

When I list the file with just 'ls' i can see the file but when i do an ls -al, it hangs again. I dont know whats going on...Perhaps it has do do with ACLs. Both machines have the same user account and unix ID that I am using to write to the share. However, I still need to check to see if the root unix IDs match... Anyone know what I might be missing? I seem to have exhausted my ideas... All the appropriate daemons are running...portmap, nfs, rpc.mountd, tcpd, etc...I set up the rc.nfs file to the defaults. It seems like an issue with the nfs client but the server is fine...

Problem solved!! Apparently not running the /etc/xpager daemon it what causes everything to hang... I couldn't find much information on this "external paging daemon" only that its required for to mount a cdrom on an apollo....Anyone know? Anyway, NFS is now running as expected :)
