That is likely. Not only was I having permission problems on /tmp 
(from nfs), thinking back I believe there was some trick either on 
the client or server side that forced v. 1 or 2 of nfs, and I know I 
didn't do that this time.

The point is moot, however, since NT has trashed my /dev/hdc on the 
linux server- if anyone know how to recover a partition map on a 
linux pc, please let me know, and maybe one day in the not so distant 
future I can ponder this nfs question.

Thanks for all the help.
