A little information on the "why" of the issue is interesting. The linux NFS server implements the NFSv4 pseudo filesystem (pFS).
Solaris allows NFS version 3 clients direct access to POSIX Access Control Lists stored in its local file systems. This proprietary sideband protocol, known as NFSACL, provides richer access control than mode bits. Linux implements this protocol for compatibility with the Solaris NFS implementation. The NFSACL protocol never became a standard part of the NFS version 3 specification, however.
The NFS version 4 specification mandates a new version of Access Control Lists that are semantically richer than POSIX ACLs. NFS version 4 ACLs are not fully compatible with POSIX ACLs; as such, some translation between the two is required in an environment that mixes POSIX ACLs and NFS version 4.
Cheers,
Keith

AIX's NFS client sends requests on high port numbers by default, and
Linux rejects this as the security exposure it is. On AIX i'm use:
nfso -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1
But how i can setup it in autorun? /etc/rc.local right way ? (1 Reply)

nfs - Network File System
Description
The Network File System (NFS) is a specific file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, as described in
NFS provides support for sharing ordinary files and directories in a multivendor networking environment. The system administrator for a
file server machine makes a file system available for remote access by placing the name of the file system to be shared in an export list.
The administrator for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine that has granted access permission to the request-
ing client machine. A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported file system can be imported by the client machine. Once
imported, users on the client machine can access files in the remote file system as though they were local files.
