unfortunately this is the system i am stuck with, i don't have the
luxury of rebuilding the system from scratch.
one option is the dedicate a desktop sun to serving the applications
directory, but this is far from ideal, as it wouldn't be on a raid
and would require a separate backup solution.
i would much rather make this work if i can.
and FYI i am running NFS for sharing purposes, it's a bit buggy, but
once we reverted the solaris clients to NFS v2 instead of NFS v3
things worked much better.
