  I'm currently trying to get pcnfsd working on 386bsd.

  I've played with things enough to determine that the password checking
 is working and the correct authentication record is sent back.

  Then, (on the PC) I get a message of the form:

	ERROR: RPC Authentication error

  Is this the "vouchsafe" problem with file systems exported from 386bsd?

  Again, I'm pretty sure this is not the user authentication; when I
 kludge up pcnfsd to return failure in that situation, I get a totally
 different message at the PC end.  I _believe_ this error is occuring
 at the mount RPC.
