 I do not recall what was done at the time.  Don't even remember which version 
 of RH I was using :)  I think I used IP address for awhile to get around the
 problem.  Something like the following:

   /home   130.29.208.0/255.255.252.0(rw)
   / 130.29.208.0/255.255.252.0(rw)

 I am currently running RH7.3 clients being accessed from linux and HP-UX 11 
 and 10 and the following works fine in /etc/exports:

   / @netgroup(rw,async)
