Do you have NIS for netgroup lookup in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file?
The group information ( not netgroup) can be obtained using the command ypgroup.

Andrew:
Thanks for the info. I can't seem to get the Filer to lookup netgroup information via NIS. If I manually place a system's name in the exports file, the system can then mount the volume. If I use an NIS netgroup name for which the system is a member, I cannot mount the volume.
Is there a way to see what NIS information the Filer thinks it has cached?
