One problem we've had in NFSing between disparate machines is with
naming them.  The mount request passes the originating machine -name-
rather than having the server use gethostbyaddr().  It's important
to check that "hostname" on the client yields a name known to the
server and vice versa.  That's probably not the whole problem but
can cause things to break.

A guy from Proteon, Mick Scully (mcs@proteon.com) recently visited here
and mentioned that he had mounted NFS filesystems at Berkeley across ARPAnet.
