Solaris comes with nfs (heh, nfs was sun's invention afterall).

Check tha manual pages for 'nfsd' and 'sharetab'.

And yes, you must be root to make any settings etc..
It's actually very probable that you have nfsd running, but with
blank settings...

And as I said, we have no problems here mounting those files from linux
clients.
(Don't worry about user vs kernelspace, that's for linux only)
