Which NFSv3 implementation is this? Is it one of my patches?
The above error usually means that the RPC authentication being used is either wrong (i.e. not AUTH_UNIX) or has somehow been corrupted. Please check, however, that the server isn't somehow set up to require secure RPC using Kerberos or DES in which case, you'll need to adapt something like Gerco's patches (can be found on http://www.cs.vu.nl/~gerco/SecureRPC/).
----
If on the other hand you are designing your own NFSv3 client, you may find the X/Open documentation useful. It is available for free (but you are required to register your name) on
http://www.opengroup.org/pubs/catalog/c702.htm
It includes a description of the Sun RPC protocol (including the standard authentication protocols), as well as NFSv2, NFSv3 and all the locking and monitoring protocols.
Cheers, Trond
