[comp.sys.apollo] NFS getattr errors

I'm having an NFS problem.  
I have several differn't machines here including Apollo's , Suns and
a Convex.  I mount Apollo nodes on both the  Convex and Suns and the
also the other machines on the Apollo.  

Problem:  With Apollo nodes mounted on the Convex , the mount goes fine
but when trying to look at the mounted dirs, I get the following error:

	NFS getattr failed for server node_19de6: RPC: Authentication error.  
        /tmp/apollo_19de6 not found.


I can do a showmount -e and it shows that everything is exported ok.

However, if I'm logged in with ROOT privlages , I do not get the 
above errors.

Also, this same test from my Suns are fine.
We are working with both Convex and Apollo on this but have yet to
solve this mystery. 

Another interesting clue: 
	I can do an initial Apollo mount on the Convex and then
        do an ls /tmp (all of my mount points are /tmp/apollo_xxxxx) and
        everything is fine.  I can do this as often as I like and every-
        thing is fine  UNTIL  I do an ls /tmp/apollo_xxxxx and from that
        point on, I get the above mentioned error. 

ANY, repeat, ANY help/comments would be MUCH appreciated.  
Thanks in advance ...
