I figured out the problem.  When mountd looks up the IP address
of the client, it comes back with the FQDN 
(i.e hostname.ee.washington.edu).  In the netgroup, the hosts are just
listed by hostname only (no trailing .ee.washington.edu).

Is it "proper" or common or more secure to list the FQDN in netgroups?
