Automounting an NFS exported Linux filesystem?

Hello,
This is essentially a repeat of Zhi Lu's question posted back in April,
but I found no summary or
follow-up answers.

I am having the same problem trying to automount Linux exported NFS
filesystems from
Redhat 6.2 and 7.0 systems on Alpha systems running Tru64 v4.0F. In
addition, I have
upgraded the Linux systems to kernel 2.2.19 and NFS v3. I was reading
where I should
add the "insecure_locks" (no_auth_nlm) option for the filesystems I am
exporting, but this is not working.

My auto_master file for the automounter on my Tru64 systems contains the
line:
        /nfs -hosts
which is the same on my Solaris and HP-UX systems. The Solaris and HP's
have no problems
mounting the exported linux filesystems.

An example of an exports file from one of my Linux systems:
        /export/unix-config *(rw,no_root_squash,insecure,no_auth_nlm)
        /export/data *(rw,no_root_squash,insecure,no_auth_nlm)

Thanks in advance,
Lia
