Many thanks for the reply and ideas. I have checked all that's suggested and they are all correct, but this still does not work, and still hangs.

I think the current problem is to do with the authentication keys... please help! Here are some log messages:

Code:

client# mount -F nfs -o vers=4,sec=dh server:/var/tmp/test /mnt

nfs mount: mount: /mnt: Invalid argument

client# tail messages
Feb 15 12:42:21 client rpcsec: [ID 270986 kern.notice] NOTICE: authdes_create: unable to get client's netname: RPC: Timed out (error 5)
Feb 15 12:49:19 client last message repeated 3 times
Feb 15 12:49:19 client nfs: [ID 120876 kern.warning] WARNING: NFS server initial call to server failed: Invalid argument

What RPC service should be running? NIS (ypbind) certainly is...

Group membership limit

On Solaris, a user is limited to being a member of a maximum of 16 groups. Could someone tell me where this limit comes from, i.e. is it NIS, or Solaris, or NFS that is imposing this limit? What is the work-around to remove this limitation?

mountd

mountd(1M)																mountd(1M)

NAME

       mountd - server for NFS mount requests and NFS access checks

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/nfs/mountd [-v] [-r]

       mountd  is  an  RPC  server  that  answers  requests  for  NFS  access  information  and  file  system  mount  requests.  It reads the file
       /etc/dfs/sharetab to determine which file systems are available for mounting by which remote machines. See sharetab(4). nfsd running on the
       local  server  will  contact mountd the first time an NFS client tries to access the file system to determine whether the client should get
       read-write, read-only, or no access. This access can be dependent on the security mode used in the remoted procedure call from the  client.
       See share_nfs(1M).

       The command also provides information as to what file systems are mounted by which clients. This information can be printed using the show-
       mount(1M) command.

       The mountd daemon is automatically invoked by share(1M).

       Only super user can run the mountd daemon.

       The options shown below are supported for NVSv2/v3 clients. They are not supported for Solaris NFSv4 clients.

       -r	Reject mount requests from clients. Clients that have file systems mounted will not be affected.

       -v	Run the command in verbose mode. Each time mountd determines what access a client should get, it will log the result to  the  con-
		sole, as well as how it got that result.

       /etc/dfs/sharetab       shared file system table

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWnfssu 		   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       nfsd(1M), share(1M), share_nfs(1M), showmount(1M), nfs(4), sharetab(4), attributes(5)

       Since  mountd  must  be	running for nfsd to function properly, mountd is automatically started by the svc:/network/nfs/server service. See
       nfs(4).

       Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case
       of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called for, and attempt the request again.
