The evidence I have comes from when I did my Sparc install about two 
weeks ago.  I was using my 3/80 as the RARP, BOOTPARAMD and NFS server.  
In /etc/exports I explicitly had it map root to root and I was still 
getting access violations (determined by a tcpdump of the session).
Maybe I did something wrong.  I don't have hard evidence as to which UID 
it was querying with.  In any case, it was simpler for me to change the 
permissions than to track down why it wasn't working.
