Again no nfs mounts.
I checked the suid-root bits and it is as follows:
server  -rwsr-xr--      root.backup
client1 -rwsr-x---      root.disk       (amcheck works)
client2 -rwsr-x---      root.disk       (non-functioning)
client3 -rwsr-x---      root.disk       (amcheck works

I have a feeling I am missing something simple. I have googled a lot
read and reread the documentation and man files asked on our local lug
but still no luck.
