Agreed! People really need to get on NFSv4, it solves soo many issues with 
NFSv2/v3. I've been using it since S10 was in beta and it's a huge improvement. 
The only issue is how poorly some other OS's support NFSv4 and even some NAS 
filers out there. But all the more reason to invest in Solaris:)

Long-term solution for this problem is to use NFS version 4.
