Server /etc/dfs/dfstab:
share -F nfs -o 
ro,rw=root,root=charliebrown:franklin:shermy:schroeder:olaf -d "pkgsrc" 
/usr/pkgsrc

Linux client:
mount -t nfs marcie:/usr/pkgsrc /usr/pkgsrc

Does this matter for root, when I've explicitly given root permission to 
act as root on the share?

Nothing in /var/log on server, but I don't know where Solaris keeps 
these logs.  The only thing I find on the client seem to be attempts to 
connect from outside my LAN.  :S  :P
