My original question:
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.
And a solution from David Warren:

Are you running yellow pages? If so does your yp name match your
local name, or bind name. Depending on your svc.conf file it will
use one of these to do a reverse name lookup, and that name needs to
match what is in exports.
Bingo! The machine in question had a bogus in-addr.arpa zone entry, and
the reverse lookup was failing to match.
Thanks,
