Count me as one of the ones who do not accept this answer. I realize that
the Sun code may very well have bugs in it. I also know that what we have
right now "doesn't work" with sun clients. I believe that we have made
modifications to our TCP/IP stack code to deal with windows machines who
are not to spec, could we not do the same for sun and NFS?
Alternately, we have a sun support contract, and if someone could detail to
me exactly how they are not compliant I will try to file a bug report.
