knfsd981014 does:

nfsd: connect from unprivileged port: xxxxxxxx:44609<4>nfsd: accept
failed (err 11)!
nfsd: accept failed (err 11)!
svc: unknown program 100227 (me 100003)

when I use my solaris 2.6 box to mount the file system. the
/etc/exports is:

/scratch xxx.xxx.xxx.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)

uname on the solaris box gives:

SunOS hostname 5.6 Generic_105181-07 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-4

(yea, I know about the root_sqaush.. need it to move some files over,
and once there, I'm removing it)

But, it then does mount it!

(I'm tempted to generate a patch to change the 80031073 to the IP
address, instead of the hex values)
