Linux NFS server and Solaris clients

 Is anyone else running Linux fileservers with Solaris clients and can share
 some tips and tricks? I have run into the following problem:

 - user home directories are NFS served from a Linux box (RHEL 3.0) and
   automounted by Solaris clients (Solaris 9)
 - when a user tries to login via dtlogin, the login screen hangs after
   entering the username and <return>;
   logging in via another machine, we find that dtgreet is consuming
   all cpu and the load is somewhere around 2.5 with nothing else running
   on the machine

 We could get this to work by not (!) using root_squash in the exports file
 on the Linux server, but this is not an acceptable solution.

 Has someone experienced this, or has any idea why it happens?

 Thanks.
