A couple of people have sent this suggestion, but the problem is the 
other way around:  The NetBSD box is the _server_, and Ultrix is the 
client.  The automount daemon is running on Ultrix, talking to mountd 
on NetBSD.

A couple of other people have suggested that root may be in too many 
groups; again, this probably only matters if Ultrix is the server.  In 
any case, root is in eight or fewer groups on both machines.
