Or alternately, as Christoph Lupe suggested:

-> No need to touch them. Put this in /etc/system:
->
-> set nfs:nfs_allow_preepoch_time = 0xffffffff

However, the official Sun docs state that the nfs:nfs_allow_preepoch_time
parameter should be treated as a boolean, set to either 1 or 0, even
though it's stored as a 32-bit value:

   http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-0607/6m735r5fe?a=view#indexterm-79

I'm guessing the 0xffffffff value either works because it's non-zero or
because its least significant bit is set.
