I received numerous "me-too" messages, but no real answers. I searched high
and low to finally find the following info on the SunSolve 1.2 CD:

I believe this was the original message I was looking for, but it states it is
corrected in Solaris 2.1 (which I am using). I tried to search Archie to find
a newer rev of this patch but I couldn't contact any Archie server this
morning.
BTW: my problem wot worse! My HP machine just made my Solaris 2.1 Sun crash
every 5-15 minutes because of its NFS activity. I had to move the files to a
Solaris 1 machine to remedy the problem.
NOTE: I have no problems sharing files between Solaris 1.x and 2.x machines but
the mix of HP-UX 9 and Solaris 2.1 makes the Sun NFS server crash constantly.
Hope this helps... If someone finds a newer version of this patch that could
correct this behaviour, please let me know.
