Update - NFS Automount Problem

Here is further information:

On the NFS server I have this is /etc/dfs/dfstab:

share -F nfs -o rw=biggroupa /users1
share -F nfs -o rw=biggroupa /users2
share -F nfs -o rw=biggroupa /users3
share -F nfs -o rw=biggroupa /users4
share -F nfs -o rw=biggroupa /users5
share -F nfs -o rw=biggroupa /users6

When I run showmount -e on the NFS server, I see:

/data1 biggroupa
/data2 biggroupa
/data3 biggroupa
/data4 biggroupa
/users1 biggroupa
/users2 biggroupa
/users3 biggroupa
/users4 biggroupa
/users5 biggroupa
/users6 biggroupa

When I run "dfshares bigserver" on the wrkstn, I see:

RESOURCE SERVER ACCESS TRANSPORT
   bigserver:/data1 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/data2 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/data3 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/data4 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/users1 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/users2 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/users3 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/users4 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/users5 bigserver - -
   bigserver:/users6 bigserver - -

biggroupa is a netgroup which does include the two wrkstns which are having
problems.

Other users who live in /users4 are able to mount their home dirs on other
workstations without problems.

Thanks,

Peter

ORIGINAL EMAIL
All,
I have a couple workstations which are experiencing a problem automounting
home directory for some users.
Users who are in: bigserver:/users1 can automount on the workstation to
/users - no problem
Users who are in: bigserver:/users2 can automount on the workstation to
/users - no problem
Users who are in: bigserver:/users4 cannot mount
When users who's home dirs are in bigserver:/users4 login into this
workstation, they get "No directory!" error.
If I'm root, and su - to that user, same thing.
If I try to mount manually:
#mount bigserver:/users4/joeblow /mnt
NFS fsinfo failed for server bigserver: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
nfs mount: mount: /mnt: Permission denied
This is only happening on 2 of more than 100 workstions.
This is what is reported in /etc/messages:
Apr 25 10:59:16 wrkstn1 nfs: [ID 664466 kern.notice] NFS fsinfo failed for
server bigserver: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
Apr 25 10:59:16 wrkstn1 automountd[170]: [ID 834250 daemon.error] Mount of
bigserver:/users4/joeblow on /users/joeblow: Permission denied
Issuing a "dfshares bigserver" does list all the proper shares.
Culprit workstation has been rebooted to no avail...
Thoughts Appreciated!
Peter
