RPC authentication error

I have a SPARC machine running SunOS 4.1.3 that I am trying to get to
NFS mount filesystems from machines running OSF/1 3.0 and 2.0. The
mount attempts fail with an error from the server, "RPC:
Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential." The SPARC can
NFS mount filesystems on other SunOS machines, and other SunOS
machines can NFS mount filesystems off the OSF/1 boxes. As far as I
can tell, the configurations of the working SunOS machines vs the
non-working one are identical, and there is nothing in the various
/etc files of the OSF/1 boxes that make the non-working SPARC special.

The only reference I can find to this kind of error is in the ULTRIX
FAQ, where it mentions a problem with authentication failing when
there are too many groups per user, but that is not the case in my
situation.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
