Does this now do mounts from a priviledged port by default???

Blake, what happens if you do

	mount -o nosuid,-P Solaris_server:/homedir /some/local/dir

It's now important to say what version of Solaris.  For example, if you're
running NetBSD-current and Solaris 2.5/2.5.1 on the server side, one suspects
that the client is trying NFS V3 style mounts, since the client side supports
them and the server side supports them.  Perhaps that is causing problems.
You might try variants on the above:

	mount -o nosuid,-P,-2 Solaris_server:/homedir /some/local/dir

do force an "old-style" NFS V2 mount; or

	mount -o nosuid,-P,-l Solaris_server:/homedir /some/local/dir

to use the "ReadDirPlus" RPC call.  See mount_nfs(8) for more info on these.
