All of whom were aware of the problem and confirmed my suspicions regarding an nfs version conflict and pointed to the vers=2.
Thanks to Benno [benoit@mathematik.uni-marburg.de] who provided me with a concise explanation and solution.
"The Linux Systems NFS Server only speaks NFS Version 2,
Solaris tries NFS V3 in Solaris 2.6.
One difference is that V2 is via UDP and V3 is also running on an TCP
Port.
mount -o vers=2 redhat:/path /localpath
should work. (see man mount_nfs ...)
I still get 'svc: unkown program XXX' errors on the Linux Box, but
NFS works.
(I have Redhat 5.2, which comes with a rather buggy NFS/libc and added
Kernel 2.2.x with knfs which works ok.)"
Thanks so much for your help, again SunManagers rule the day!
